Publisher's Synopsis
This short novel is set in 1967-73 and its two main characters, "he" and "she," are archetypes for the confused pubescent male and the slightly less confused pubescent female as I experienced them. If you like reading mysteries, psychological thrillers, and historical fiction, all combined in to one, then you won't particularly enjoy this, as its none of those. Rather, The Gun Dream is ultimately darker than that, with the darkness softened by the character who calls himself "the Interlocutor," who is subconsciously anxious about guns and what they symbolize about life in modern societies. The photographs are from my family archives, including those of the "window-pane art" I make from repurposed windows from my house, as well as odds and ends like fabrics and toys and leftover house paints.
