Rapid Eye Movement, by Istvan Banyai, Viking Books, 1997.
I am reviewing this book during National Poetry Month because this book felt like poetry without words. It also felt like a tribute to Winsor McCay and his Nemo. I have to admit that I didn't completely understand it -- my dreams perhaps are not as close to me as Mr. Banyai's are to him -- but my nine-year-old son, whose imagination and dreams have sparked many stories, understood this book perfectly. So I guess I also have to admit that I was not the target audience for this book. Dreamers, however, will love it.
