False memories and clairvoyant dreams combine in Agualusas sweeping, intricately plotted tale of personal and political history in Angola . . . Publishers WeeklyWhen Daniel Benchimolconsummate dreameruncovers the photographed reveries of a famous Mozambican artist, Moira, his fascination quickly develops to obsession as the sight lines between reality and dreams get harder to bring into focusDaniel Benchimol spends his dreaming hours interviewing revolutionaries and writers. In this treacherous sleepscape, we find the Angolan anticommunist Jonas Savimbi, Muammar Gaddafi, hunched and hiding in a gutter, and Julio Cortzar as a great billowing tree, speaking to Daniel through an alphabet of clouds. He dreams wild dreams of people hes never met, squinting at them as if submerged in the hazy waters of southern Angola.When Daniel finds a camera on the beach, he becomes obsessed with the woman in the photos. Moira is a Mozambican artist with a similar preoccupation with her subconscious life she stages her dreams in her artwork. The two meet, and together they explore the cloudy edges of their nightly visions, tugging at the fringed hem of the real. The Society of Reluctant Dreamers is a delicately crafted glimpse into the aftermath of Angolan independence, a postcard sent to prod the illusion of peace and freedom.
