Seventy-Nine Dreams

Harvested from a vivid period of Crowley’s dream life, this journal of visions, visitations, and escapades features a jewel heist, a battle with a murderous robot, a bus tour through a city of shrines, and a job preparing pizza for Lord Byron. Recorded with a lucid attention to detail—and with a style attuned to the peculiar, free-wheeling logic of dreams—the tales drawn from Crowley’s nocturnal wanderings are at turns hilarious, frightening, and sublime. They are also deeply personal, recounting spontaneous love affairs and unexpected meetings with friends and fellow writers both living and dead, plus a recurring mystery played out across the winding streets and corridors of a dark, labyrinthine city.
