Opis

THE DREAM CHAMBER is a full-length work of memoir shaped as a novel. The story is told from the perspective and in the voice of the child whose life it narrates. The child's family emigrated from a shtetl in Ukraine to the United States at the turn of the century. The Dream Chamber takes place in the State of Maine from 1945-1956. The narrator describes the first years of his life from the perspectives and in the voice of his evolving consciousness. This story is profoundly personal. Yet the work captures and conveys the manner in which many children come to consciousness, attain to identity and life, enter a family, and in time depart to construct an adulthood of their own. The narrative is accompanied by several historical photographs from Ukraine and the U.S.
