Book Club: Reading An Alphabet for Dreamers: How to See the World with Eyes Closed by Sharon Sliwinski | Illustrated by Melinda Josie

​Our 41st book club meeting! We'll be discussing An Alphabet for Dreamers: How to See the World with Eyes Closed by
Sharon Sliwinski | Illustrated by Melinda Josie

​“A captivating and trailblazing look at how dreams serve as one of our most powerful ways to understand—and radically change—our world.

​Borrowing from the traditional alphabet book genre for children, An Alphabet for Dreamers provides adult readers with a new grammar for dreams, or what neuroscientist Sidarta Ribeiro calls “oracles of the night.” In this book, Sharon Sliwinski restores dreaming to its proper place as an important worldmaking activity, one that offers a gateway to another way of seeing. Each of the short chapters engages a dream from the historical record—from both the recent and distant past—to show how these experiences can help make sense of profound social conflicts and transform our shared reality."

​As always, don't worry if you haven't finished reading the book -- everyone is welcome! We'd love to see you and hear your thoughts. You can join in person at the store, or virtually on Zoom. For a Zoom link and/or to get on the Book Club email list, drop us a line at info@cavershambooksellers.com.
