Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 The Dream House is a real place. It is next to a forest and at the rim of a sward. It has a foundation, though rumors of the dead buried within it are a fiction. Every room can be a bedroom: you only need a bed or not even that. Your actions are mightier than any architect’s intentions.

#2 I lived with John and Laura, a couple from Florida, in Iowa City. They were a perfect example of Florida camp and eccentricity. Laura looked like a old-fashioned movie star, while John looked like a grunge rocker-cum-offbeat-professor.

#3 I have spent my life hopping from city to city, befriending like-minded individuals at each stop. My friends and roommates were always there to take care of me, but this story is about me and John and Laura.

#4 The trick is that the yellow always comes off on your skin. The dandelion yields every time. It has no wiles, no secrets, no sense of self-preservation. And so we understand something we cannot articulate: that the diagnosis never changes. We will always be hungry.
