Product Details
Overview
The first literary work created through dream-engineering technology—featured on BBC World Service—where cutting-edge science meets imaginative literary storytelling.
When a vision disorder stole his ability to read, Will Dowd found himself exiled from the world of books—until he discovered an unusual path back through the landscape of dreams. Armed with an experimental dream-inception device from MIT, Dowd embarked on a yearlong odyssey into his own unconscious.
The Taste of Rain in Buenos Aires chronicles twenty extraordinary dream narratives born from this first-of-its-kind experiment: A service dog navigates grief after his owner's death. A time-travel tour guide loses tourists across centuries. An alien researcher falls in love with Earth despite himself. The stories in this collection emerge from a mind at its most unguarded, each one intimate, strange, and deeply human.
Part literary experiment, part exploration of consciousness, The Taste of Rain in Buenos Aires reveals how dreams, like books, can become portals to other worlds—wild, untamable places where the impossible is married to the everyday and even exile can become a form of homecoming.
