In Dreaming in Public we are treated to accounts of romantic events in the life of an actor. His life is not extraordinary, but the playful narrative devices that the author uses to tell his tale make this a book of many surprises.
The thread that ties these stories together makes a striking web of associations and continuities. Structurally,the stories are like acts in a play and at times the narrative sequence has qualities that are similar to the libretto of an opera.
A distinctive aspect of this novel is the way that theatrical performance is described and the relationship this has with the usual modes of literary description. In this book the reader is led to discover a place that lies somewhere between the written page and the auditorium.
Peter Stickland lives in London. He is a Course Director at Chelsea College of Art and Design. His explorations of the possibilities for narrative are usually explored as architectural interventions that are exhibited in a visual art context. His performances and installations have been shown in Europe and the USA.
