À propos du livre
Elliott is a young newlywed who loves his wife. But encouraged by his dubious friend Geo one winter, Elliott receives a vial of pills that when taken before bed, makes his dreams deceitfully real. In this alternate reality, Elliott meets Mary.
Elliott begins a relationship with Mary, harmlessly trysting with her inside his dreams. When Elliott’s wife unexpectedly dies, Elliott procures a new set of drugs to cope with his loss. With these, he makes his late wife appear in his dreams, aborting his relationship with Mary. But Mary, actually an acquaintance of Elliott’s, quickly appears in Elliott’s waking life. Elliott now experiences his late wife at night and Mary during the day.
Mary and Elliott is a literary novella about perception, love, and dreams. Written in dreamlike prose, flower-like, it unfolds the demise (or salvation) of Elliott and the petals of humanity that surround him.
Written during a blizzard when the author was 24, Mary & Elliott was prepared by his wife for publication four years later as a birthday gift. From a manuscript forgotten in a back room, Mary & Elliott is now strong and gentle read from the heart of a young man to anyone that deigns to listen.
