How the Dead Dream

Daryl Houston

I sort of hated Millet's Oh Pure and Radiant Heart, which was my introduction to her work, but this one I liked quite a lot. While it started off as an oddly distanced portrait of a boy, it wound up being kind of a lovely story about growing up and learning to be a real person with concerns beyond yourself. The prose is effortless and at times beautiful. I liked reading about T's development, even when I didn't believe it's how people actually work in the real world.
