Dreaming of Dead People

In the ‘middle of life’ Lavinia reviews her frustrations, her solitariness, the grief and the rapture, her seeming companions in a pageant presided over, as it were, by the masks of Owl, for winter, and Cuckoo, for erotic love. Dreaming of Dead People, first published in the 1970s, remains as surprising, frank, mordantly funny and raw as ever.

,,In mijlocul vietii", Lavinia isi trece in revista frustrarile, singuratatea, durerea si extazul, aparentele ei tovarase intr-un spectacol prezidat, cum ar spune, de mastile Bufnitei, pentru iarna, si ale Cucului, pentru dragostea erotica. Visand la morti, publicata pentru prima data in anii 1970, ramane la fel de surprinzatoare, sincera, mordac de amuzanta si cruda ca intotdeauna.
