Sleeping in the City of Abandoned Dreams is a short novel I recently wrote. It took me exactly 10 days to go from “blank page” to “edited, ready for publishing”. Of course this is unusual even by my standards (writing short, abstract, poetic fiction).
What made this possible – and at the same time very easy and pleasurable – was a concordance between methodology and subject matter.
Sleeping in the City of Abandoned Dreams is probably the most free-styling, artistic kind of work I’ve written that still counts as prose. I certainly can detect an evolution in my literary production, with novels like The Storytelling Cat being far more abstract, artistic, poetic than my earlier works.
So where does Sleeping in the City of Abandoned Dreams sit in all that? Let me explain…
