Grouse County, somewhere in the Midwest. Over the course of a long, autumnal weekend, each member of the Darling family is in search of something elusive. For Charles it's an heirloom shotgun; for his wife, Joan, the imaginative life she once knew; for their young son, Micah, who prowls the empty streets at night, it's a sense of the limits of his world; and for Joan's daughter, Lyris, a stable base from which to begin to grow up.
The follow-up to the cult-classic The End of Vandalism, Hunts in Dreams is a remarkable novel from a modern master.
Hunts in Dreams is shorter than Drury's debut without being any slighter. He can do levity, he can do gravity. He can intimate social commentary and burrow into an individual's soul. A wonder of modern fiction, Drury can do anything he wants * Independent *
Gorgeous, inexplicably sad and funny . . . a dreamlike book - not in the way dreams are but in the way that life can be * Salon *
A wonderful piece of storytelling * Esquire *
