Richard Curle : Life is a Dream

'You don't mind if I suggest that you should take a glance at Curle's short stories "Life is a Dream"-- not all in the vol. but three of them. Read first "Blanca Palillos", then the "Remittance Man" and finish with the one called "A Memory". Each in its way has a distinct value [...]'
