A collection of short prose coupled to an aphoristic appendix which has some bearing on most of the contents, this project, originally dating from 1981 but since extensively revised, combines fictional with philosophical themes at a pretty high level in such fashion that they seem to be partners in literary crime, not least in the piece entitled 'A Canine Crime', which futuristically investigates an old woman's dilemma vis-a-vis dog proscription laws which she has secretly defied in spite of the risk of prosecution. All in all, 'Dream Compromise' is an artful collection in which the rational compromise with fictional dreaming, or imagining, is handled pretty deftly.
