Robinson's Dream
Robinson Cahill is a writer. His wife, Martha, is an attorney, and the two of them have a problem. Their nineteen-year-old son has gone too far, committing a serious crime. Robinson and Martha learn about the crime, and they're not sure what to do. They decide it would be prudent to sleep on the matter before talking to their son. Robinson goes to bed that night and falls into a dream odyssey of thought-provoking memories and fantasies. This remarkable novel-length dream spurs his subconscious wisdom, becoming the inspiration behind the words he has with his son the next day.
MY REVIEW: Our dreams--and perhaps even more strongly, our nightmares--may be whimsical, wacky, weird flights of imagination that perplex or disturb us and then are soon forgotten. However, sometimes they provide insight into our deepest thoughts, often propelling us into eye-opening self-realizations. Robinson Cahill, the protagonist of author Mark Lages' "Robinson's Dream", faces such a situation during a fitful night's sleep after discovering that his teenaged son, Robert, has committed a serious crime. As a young child, Robert showed every sign of becoming a charming con man and petty thief, but now his larceny had advanced to a new level--stealing from his own mother's employer. Robinson and his wife are in a quandary trying to decide how to deal with their son's criminal behavior, and Robinson's doubts and fears trigger his epic, kaleidoscopic mental journey during one long night. When dawn breaks, will he remember his passage through his own psyche, and will he have the answers he seeks? Author Mark Lages' unique voice as a storyteller always provides an interesting and entertaining reading experience.
