Editorial Reviews

Review

"Dreams of Being is a fever dream, a religious text, a writer's notebook, a case of mistaken identity, a love letter. Jiro is one of the most fascinating characters you will ever read, and this is Michael Seidlinger at his very best, his sentences full of his particular energy and verve. Start here. Open this book and get lost in Seidlinger's dream. You will be drawn in by the complexity and wonder of Jiro's story and the mystery of how to tell it and what it takes to make meaning."

-Matthew Salesses, author of Disappear Doppelgänger Disappear

"Take one unexpected yet hard-won friendship, mix in sensory delights via the culinary arts, sprinkle in the pathos of (lost and found) aspirations, and you have Michael J Seidlinger's Dreams of Being. In this close narrative, Seidlinger captures the doubt, desperation, and deceit involved in finding purpose. Ultimately, is this "purpose" of our own making, or is it a prescribed notion to become someone manifested by and for others? Dreams of Being captures the relatable fear in being who we are, complexity and all."

-Jennifer Baker, editor of Everyday People: The Color of Life

"I never trust people who use a middle initial, but Michael J Seidlinger is different. When I read his writing, I'm on my back, I'm having my behavior corrected: It's teaching me a lesson. And I can see stars."

-Scott McClanahan, author of The Sarah Book

"Michael J Seidlinger understands the messy mysterious business of being human, and of also looking to be wanted, needed, and validated."

-Ron Currie, author of The One-Eyed Man

"Seidlinger continues his quest to become a literary chameleon, diving into new genres and remixing them into something wholly his own. His is a kingdom without borders."

-Joshua Mohr, author of Sirens
