Vitus Dreams

Meer over het boek

Taking the explorer, Vitus Bering, as its point of departure, this innovative and extraordinary novel explores dreams and waking, reality, and loss. Why do we give primacy to waking rather than dream experience? What is the nature of symbol? What might the concept of authorship mean? Linguistically playful, lyrical, and poignant, 'Vitus Dreams' explores these questions through surprising and convincing characters: from Ulysses to John Franklin, from the wives left behind to Vitus Bering himself.
