Sweet Dreams

By Michael Frayn

Genre : Literary Fiction, Books, Fiction & Literature

Kind : ebook

(0 ratings)
A man who dies and goes to Heaven nowadays expects something a little more sophisticated than gold streets and angels playing harps. He wants a place designed for his own individual needs and tastes – somewhere that allows for personal development and rich human relations – somewhere you can win. Here’s Howard Baker’s heaven. It may be yours.

Long regarded as a classic in Great Britain, Michael Frayn’s comic fantasy Sweet Dreams (1973) returns to print in the U.S. for the first time in decades in this edition, which features a new introduction by the author.

“Frayn has a most unusual talent. His books seem so deceptively simple, but they linger in the mind for years, and can be re-read with the greatest pleasure. Sweet Dreams is no exception.” – Margaret Drabble, New York Times Book Review

“May go down in history as one of England’s special contributions to the twentieth century.” – Times Literary Supplement

“Frayn is an impeccable writer . . . his novel is a kind of Candide – a vividly contemporary Candide – full of the most serious high comedy and the most enormous belly laughs.” – New Yorker
