Reading List: Fictional Dreaming

I received an unusually condensed little Daedalus Books catalogue in the post last week. Upon opening it, I was delighted to discover that it is a fiction-only edition. Like many ingenious writers, I cannot bring myself to read novels or short-stories when I am waist-deep in my own work. This poses no such can of worms when I am penning reviews or articles. As I am currently in the midst of two short-stories, I have imposed a fiction ban on my leisure reading. For the adjacent to-future, I will be indulging only in writing-craft books, biographies, and history.

Another eccentric amalgam of seemingly unrelated concepts that I cannot get out of my mind.The Bad Girl by Mario Vargas Llosa (FABER & FABER)This is a just out novel by one of my favourite contemporary writers. It is about a man desperately in love with one woman-in-many incarnations, across many years and continents.The Elysian Omnibus and Other Stories by E.M. Forster (SNOWBOOKS) I am not a fan of Forster's novels. They have never quite worked for me; I did not buy into the epic Merchant Ivory fixed idea. However, I am open-minded; there is little of value that I will not give a chance to, at least once. I have never read his short stories. This...
