Dreams of Ourselves: An Appreciation of Pessoa


I am quite excited to announce that a piece of mine will be included in the upcoming Zagava/Ex Occidente homage volume Dreams of Ourselves: An Appreciation of Pessoa. The book contains 11 stories, each one attributed to one of the heteronyms of the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa, as chosen by the author. The true attribution of author to story remains veiled, though the keys will be provided in a sealed envelope included with the book.

The authors are as follows: Quentin S. Crisp, Jonathan Wood, Mark Valentine, Adam S. Cantwell, Colin Insole, John Howard, Avalon Brantley, Rhys Hughes, Andrew Condous, D.P. Watt, and myself.

The stories (along with their heteronyms):
That Nothing Human Scorn by Raphael Baldaya
Petseta by Sebastian Knight
We Are All Words by Burton Donald-Wickham Hallam
The Apostatical Ascetic by Alexander Search
A Body of Nostalgia with a Soul of Foam by Unknown
Le Panopticon de le Chevalier de Pas by Chevalier de Pas
Mr. S and Doctor S. by Horace James Faber
The Man We All Imagined I Might Have Been by Emmanuel Golding
A Sea Sorrow in Triptych by A.A. Crosse
The Sublime Voyage of Ariana Aragão by Efbeedee Pasha
Under Different Stars by Navas

The pieces with which my work share space in this book are among the finest which I've read all year. It is quite an honor to be included in such a fantastic project.

The book may be ordered from the Zagava website. Shipping begins toward the end of November.
