![]() ![]() Hailed on publication in Australia as Richard Flanagan's greatest novel yet, The Living Sea of Waking Dreams is a rising ember storm, illuminating what remains when the inferno beckons: one part elegy, one part dream, one part hope. But the window keeps opening wider, taking Anna and the listener ever deeper into an eerily beautiful story of grief and possibility, of loss and love and orange-bellied parrots. All Anna can do is keep her mother alive. ![]() She begins to see that all around her, others are similarly vanishing, yet no one else notices. When Anna's finger vanishes and a few months later her knee disappears, Anna too feels the pull of the window. It is actively participated in by the journeyer who is embarking on an exploration of consciousness to make discoveries, not to manipulate, but to freely find under the aegis of a guide at the beginning of such experiences. Condemned by her children's pity to living, subjected to increasingly desperate medical interventions, she turns her focus to her hospital window, through which she escapes into visions of horror and delight.
