I have as much respect for CGJ as I have contempt for his erstwhile mate Sickmind Fraud. But something jarred for me in the aforementioned 'Memories, Dreams, Reflections'. Early on in the book I'm sure I remember him recounting a dream about seeing various boys or peoples faces and then gravely announcing that some of these were soon to die... I didn't buy it. It seemed too much of a gratuitous egg-splash in a little pudding, an unnecessary hint of supernatural drama, in short, bollocks.
Sort of made me think as I carried on: 'Do I entirely trust his words? If I embellish my dreams, why and for whom*?'
But I'm on your side Mr. Guyatt; even if it's only allegory, it's some of the best we've got.
