Description

The author of Wild at Heart and Night People reaches the heights of his powers in Do The Blind Dream, navigating with ease the new, more fragmented imaginative landscape of morning-after America. Gifford seems to have anticipated themes that are suddenly recognisable everywhere: the fragility of identity, the power of coincidence and the illusion of a secure tomorrow. Tasting of Bunuel and Cocteau' - Pedro Almodovar'
