New Edition for “Of Reality and Dream”
The second edition is the result of valuable feedback from readers, a restyling that translated into small yet substantial changes: removed the numbering of the stories with the title at the end, replaced by a classic initial title; removed page breaks in correspondence with the scenes that make up The Illusion of Free Will, so as to allow a more fluid reading experience.
Some flash fiction stories, whose stylistic register was out of tune with the whole, were removed for format coherence: The Shadow, Massimiliano Observes, The Substantial Reality of Facts, Game Time and Happy Ending remain available only to the loyal owners of the first edition.
The sequence of the stories and the cover were also reviewed.
