Gifford seems to have anticipated themes that suddenly are recognizable everywhere: the fragility of identity; the power of coincidence; the illusion of a secure tomorrow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast to his often nightmarish, satirical, groundbreaking novels of the 1990s—Wild at Heart, Perdita Durango, and Night People among them—\u003ci\u003eDo the Blind Dream? \u003c\/i\u003econtinues in the tender and deeply introspective vein revealed in two recent works: Gifford’s memoir \u003ci\u003eThe Phantom Father\u003c\/i\u003e (named a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Book), and the award-winning novella \u003ci\u003eWyoming\u003c\/i\u003e. From the intimate, stylistically daring examination of the darkest secrets in the history of an Italian family, to the terrible but often beautiful fears and discoveries of childhood, to the sardonic, desperate confusion of adult life, \u003ci\u003eDo the Blind Dream?\u003c\/i\u003e reveals an exceptionally versatile, highly tuned sensibility.Do the Blind Dream?\u003cbr\u003eBall Lightning\u003cbr\u003eThe Ciné\u003cbr\u003eThe Lost Tribe\u003cbr\u003eJohnny Across\u003cbr\u003eForever After\u003cbr\u003eRosa Blanca\u003cbr\u003eAfrican Adventure Story\u003cbr\u003eHavana Moon\u003cbr\u003eHoliday From Women\u003cbr\u003eLife Is Life This Sometimes\u003cbr\u003eA Day's Worth of Beauty\u003cbr\u003eThe Petersen Fire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBooks by Barry Gifford\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Author\"Gifford is one of those brave writers who go their own way, and challenge readers to follow.\"—\u003cb\u003eAlan Ryan\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAtlanta Journal-Constitution\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Barry Gifford is all the proof the world will ever need that a writer who listens with his heart is capable of telling anyone’s story.\"—\u003cb\u003eArmistead Maupin\u003c\/b\u003e, author of the \u003ci\u003eTales of the City\u003c\/i\u003e seriesThe author of more than forty published works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, which have been translated into twenty-eight languages,\u003cb\u003e BARRY GIFFORD\u003c\/b\u003e began as a poet and musician.
