Book Synopsis
Dream On is a composite novel: part black comedy and flashlight noir thriller, part meditation on the stories that connect up the frayed wires in the business of living. There's Digger Davies and his one cap for Wales and ultimately untimely death...the award winning photographer whose return home will become a quest for his own forgotten identity and compromised life...the thwarted politician in a hospital bed writing his own obituary...and a beautiful girl caught in time, alive in an old man's memory...

Trade Review
"A broad, ambitious work - with the acerbic wit and grime of the noir thriller." New Welsh Review "Smith's counterclaim - suggesting an alternative culture with which to side-step English cultural absorption." Planet "The great South Wales novel?" Agenda
