Reviews
"What an astonishing book this is . . . Masterful . . . Somehow, after seven novels, a Booker Prize, countless essays, lectures and pieces of journalism, Flanagan has delivered a book that both distills the literary qualities for which he has been celebrated for more than a quarter of a century and recasts our ideas about the kind of writer he is and what he can do. This novel is a revelation and triumph, from a writer demonstrating, yet again, the depths of his talent, while revelling in a new, unfamiliar register. It is at once timely and timeless, full of despair but leavened by hope, angry and funny and sad and a bit magical . . . Urgent and angry and fierce. But it is also a kind book, a sorrowful book. It is a book that offers notes of grace and gratitude in the face of beauty, asking its readers to be vigilant in how we take care of our world, of each other, of ourselves." --Michael Williams, Sydney Morning Herald "The most significant link between The Living Sea of Waking Dreams and William Faulkner's masterpiece As I Lay Dying , written at an antipode to one another and yet sharing so much, has to do with the misuse of important words--first among them 'love' . . . In this, Flanagan's call-and-response to his revered literary antecedent, he explores how our failures to properly love have led us to the point of destruction. What impresses most, however, is that Flanagan's novel doesn't end in condemnation . . . It concludes, astonishingly for a story about our flaws, our blindnesses--the individual and collective fiasco that has brought us to this point--with a message of hope." --Geordie Williamson, The Weekend Australian, "Flanagan is one of our greatest living novelists, able to tackle material so wrenching that you can't stop reading." -- Washington Post " The Living Sea of Waking Dreams, like Jonathan Franzen's best novels, quietly traces a societal rift around wealth and what amounts to a 'good life' . . . In the end, like Flanagan's best work the novel grounds itself in humane ideals. Love. Hope. Dignity." -- New York Times Book Review "What an astonishing book this is . . . Masterful . . . This novel is a revelation and triumph, from a writer demonstrating, yet again, the depths of his talent, while revelling in a new, unfamiliar register. It is at once timely and timeless, full of despair but leavened by hope, angry and funny and sad and a bit magical." -- Sydney Morning Herald "Unforgettable . . . Flanagan shines in his fierce, surrealistic look at a family's dissolution in a recognizable if dystopian Australia that's ravaged by wildfires." -- Publishers Weekly (starred) "Writers the world over are grappling with a version of this question: in the face of so much devastation, so much terror, what can fiction possibly achieve? The Living Sea of Waking Dreams is Flanagan's emphatic, wrenching answer." -- Guardian Australia "Like Richard Powers's The Overstory, this is a timely, unforgettable work of climate fiction." -- Booklist (starred) "A fiercely well-observed account of the psychological twists and turns, the stress points and the double-binds of familial love." -- Daily Telegraph "His prose has a pyrotechnic brilliance." -- Mail on Sunday "The brilliance of Flanagan's story and the deep power of this novel is in our witnessing of the end of the world . . . In The Living Sea of Waking Dreams it is a matriarch rather than a patriarch slowly, messily and unevenly passing out of the world [but] in this respect Flanagan's novel resembles Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections or HBO's Succession. " -- The Conversation "Utterly dazzling." -- SFX "It concludes, astonishingly for a story about our flaws, our blindnesses--the individual and collective fiasco that has brought us to this point--with a message of hope." -- The Weekend Australian
Synopsis
From the acclaimed Booker Prize-winning author comes a dazzling novel of family, love and love's disappointments Anna's aged mother is dying. Condemned by her children's pity to living, subjected to increasingly desperate medical interventions, she turns her focus to her hospital window, through which she escapes into visions of horror and delight. When Anna's finger vanishes and a few months later her knee disappears, Anna too feels the pull of the window. She begins to see that all around her, others are similarly vanishing, yet no one else notices. All Anna can do is keep her mother alive. But the window keeps opening wider, taking Anna and the reader ever deeper into an eerily beautiful story of grief and possibility, of loss and love and orange-bellied parrots. Hailed on publication in Australia as Richard Flanagan's greatest novel yet, The Living Sea of Waking Dreams is a rising ember storm illuminating what remains when the inferno beckons: one part elegy, one part dream, one part hope.
