If you choose to judge a book by its content, <em>Of Reality and Dream: Tales for Underground<\/em> certainly holds up under scrutiny! Although conceived when the author was but a boy, the ramblings come together in a unique and insightful way. The group of stories includes musings on life, including futility and human mortality, and even a jaunt into the fantastical. The pages flow like poetry, one into the next, leading readers to unexpected places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding pointless books, one of the characters, Giovanni Rosselli in <em>The Book<\/em>, lamented, \u201cPoor tree, what a horrible end. It would have been more honorable to turn into a thousand soft sheets of bath tissue.\u201d And haven\u2019t we all grabbed a book like that? Not so with this quirky collection of stories. The ideas aren\u2019t all overt or even necessarily clear. Much of Loredano Cafaro\u2019s work is like an Alfred Hitchcock film where you can hear the screams and the suspenseful music, but the fright is derived within the minds of the viewers, left to imagine the horrors in their own ways. Similarly, readers will get out of this anthology as much as they dare imagine. <em>Of Reality and Dream: Tales for Underground<\/em> is unexpectedly insightful and surprisingly poignant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Read the review on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indiestoday.com\/of-reality-and-dream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Indies Today<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cUnexpectedly insightful and surprisingly poignant.\u201d \u2015 Nicky Flowers for Indies Today on May 19, 2020 \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,75],"tags":[73],"class_list":["post-1398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-captains-log","category-of-reality-and-dream","tag-reviews"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
