A dream novella. Where Ishiguro's The Unconsoled is ponderous, it is light (but also more lightweight.) Its the wacky, less anxious, kind of dream. More similar to Abe's Kangaroo Notebook, but also very different from it. Like those novels, The Feverhead succeeds in the difficult task of keeping a narrative (or two) going without sacrificing its fidelity to the experience of dreaming.

The Feverhead is a droll story of outlandish goings-on told via the short letters of Frank & Heinz, two men who can only be described as quaint, quirky, and generally off-their-rockers. It begins quite normally, but when their letters keep crossing, confusion sets in, and the two penpals begin to make crazier and crazier claims as to where they are and what they're up to. A city inside a giant head; a three-eyed seadog captain who has two bodies just 3.5m apart; transvestite nuns; microscopic schoolgirls?! - All sorts of bonkers stuff. Recommended to those who enjoy tales of warped imagination and surreal tomfoolery.… (plus d'informations)
