Prochownik's Dream

Description

Alex Miller's latest novel Prochownik's Dream is about an artist who hasn't been able to paint or draw for years, not since the death of his father. When he suddenly finds the inspiration to work again, it creates all sorts of tensions in his life, as he alienates his wife and neglects his child. Prochownik's Dream is about the creative impulse and the difficulty of negotiating art and life and about the struggle to reconcile dreams with reality, and fantasy with family.
