Author Description

What do you do when the Revolution comes for you? A a futurist novel in the tradition of Wells, Huxley and Orwell, the Crowd Dreams of Love is a comic meditation on individual and social love, time and the inevitability of change. A reclusive composer of modern music is drawn inexorably into the tumult of his times by three women: Marie, an immigrant waitress with connections to the murky Sisterhood; his student the beautiful pianist Eva; and his ex-lover Caroline, now one of the most famous movie stars in the world - as famous for her political opinions as for her movie roles. The Crowd Dreams of Love asks: What does it take to start a Revolution? In the heart, and in the streets? Its world is not very different from our own, where technology has made privacy impossible, where crowds have minds separate from those in them, where massive forces overwhelm the individual, where the government rounds up dissidents and the news is mere propaganda, where people know that something terrifying is happening, without knowing what it is, where time can be traversed by longing - and where love pervades all we do.
