Escape on a witty, erotic journey to the Republic of Dreams, an island republic located in the Mid-Atlantic, somewhat south of Bermuda, between the Sea of Clouds and the Sea of the Unseen. The Republic of Dreams is the true home of every dreamer, nonconformist, artist, eccentric, lover, and poet--all those who have an instinctive dislike of the narrow limitations of common sense. Its citizens love love, youth, old age, beauty, splendor, wisdom, generosity, music, song, the feast, and the dance. The weather is ideal and festivals occur daily. In this spectacular dream landscape, every destination is graced by an artist's inspiration, a philosopher's wit, or a poet's insight. Here, G. Garfield Crimmins rediscovers his alter ego, Victor La Nuage, and his sensuous lover, Nadja La Claire. Together, with the help of the elusive Dr. Prometheus, they seek to undermine the life-denying, imagination-stifling enemy of the Republic of Dreams: the armed and dangerous League of Common Sense. You will need a poetic license for this journey, and you will find one within--one you can take with you into your everyday life, along with a passport confirming your citizenship in the Republic of Dreams and souvenir maps, postcards, and telegrams. A slyly sophisticated tribute to the seductive powers of the imagination, THE REPUBLIC OF DREAMS gives escape literature a good name." [jacket copy] "Surrealist fiction, consisting of the recollections of a man transported to the island republic of Reves. The citizens of the republic (which is generally invisible) are, according to excerpts from a guidebook included in the text, 'artists, dreamers, and eccentrics who have an instinctive dislike of the narrow limitations of common sense' and who revere 'the boundless infinity of the realms of the imagination.' Along with a number of playfully altered photographs, montages, and some brilliantly colored, appropriately dreamlike, paintings, a series of faux documents have been bound into the book (a technique pioneered in the Griffin and Sabine trilogy), including envelopes with telegrams and a map of Reves. While the central narrative has something to do with the pursuit of an elusive beauty across the Reverian landscape, the work is at heart a tongue-in-cheek celebration of the alluring (and disorienting) power of the imagination: a witty, ingenious entertainment, filled with sly references to the paintings and writings of the French surrealists--and a first for author/artist/narrator Crimmins. It's hard, after all, to resist a country governed by poets who spend their days drafting 'exceptions to the rule,' whose inhabitants value 'wisdom, the feast and the dance,' and who spend their days practicing 'mischief as much as poetry.'"--Kirkus Reviews. (Four-color art throughout.) "I dreamed of an island, of unrecorded voyages of discovery, of republics with no history, of hushed-up intrigues and philosophies, revolutions in customs, displacement of races and continents: I believed in every kind of magic."--Arthur Rimbaud. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, brightly covered in an intact jacket.
