Cultural Writing. Biography and memoir. Eric Basso began to record his dreams in 1966, at the age of nineteen. REVAGATIONS is the first of three projected volumes. In these pages, we dicover an unconscious life laid bare in a myriad of bizarre adventures and intrigues. Whether he's dancing with Ginger Rogers, buying secondhand books from Adolf Hitler or narrating the strange history of the mutant Bazillia, Basso's imagery is always vivid, direct, sometimes poetic, at other time hilariously funny and, more often than not, brazenly politically incorrect. The first volume is preceded by Basso's diverting survey of the role played by dreams in art, literature, music and sciences.
