About
Sam Savage's final book is a collection of stripped down visitations, flash fictions of smoke breaks and long drives and friends who finally stop showing up. The acidic tang of disappointment is here, and sparks of biting insight, in portraits of people and animals, in all our absurdity and failed attempts at meaning. As Sam says, "what a life."

"Open the door of this Orphanage of Dreams and walk as if on clouds. Dreams reveal, condense, betray, distort, translate, highlight, let slip, point to a higher truth. And so do these stories, a delicate lattice of language and longing. A thorough delight for the senses. Your waking hours will never be the same."

"An Orphanage of Dreams is a collection as quiet and new as the dawn. These surprising parables, not unlike Primo Levi's, made me feel part of a kinder, larger world. Anyone who has suffered and still dares to hope should read this book by the extraordinary writer Sam Savage."
