These Dreams of You
By Steve Erickson
Published January 2012
The latest work by Steve Erickson is different from his previous novels but contains some of the same great writing techniques. Erickson emphasizes repetition in his stories. He repeats certain lines and ideas often in different characters or scenes. He interweaves plot points that make it so that you know what is going to happen and you enjoy how he cleverly incorporates the repetition. Hes connected different novels by having a character from one novel be the main character in another. This novel is not post-apocalyptic American, like his usual books, but covers more contemporary and controversial topics.
Repetition is an important aspect of storytelling because readers and listeners can connect with what is being said and follow along. This is a recurring technique used for thousands of years. All stories are newer versions of other ones and how they are written and told is what makes them new and interesting.
In These Dreams of You
Erickson manages to interweaves different fictions that can be a little confusing. You really have to pay attention and stay on track with the writer to follow along. That is not a problem with the great writing that you can expect from one of the best American Novelists and a Guggenheim fellow. He has been producing great novels now for over 20 years.
