THE NEW NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE YEAR WE FINALLY SOLVED EVERYTHING
Elliot Bergeron feels like he's been here before...
Elliot Bergeron has just finished university and is falling for a young woman. Elliot Bergeron is a disheartened thirty year-old elementary school teacher counting down the years to his pension. Elliot Bergeron's life is wide open. Elliot Bergeron's life is sealed shut. Elliot Bergeron has dreams of his future. Elliot Bergeron has dreams of his past. Elliot Bergeron is living two parts of his own life at the same time and doesn't know who he is, who he loves, what he controls, what will happen next, or even what happened before.
With an ear for dialogue and a penchant for wry humor, Kerkhoven's writing is reminiscent of Nick Hornby but with the attitude of Dave Eggers. Utilizing a narrative that is linear and yet cyclical, A Dream Apart is an original and surreal drama about love and tragedy with a comedic gloss. Like The Year We Finally Solved Everything, it defies simple genre classification.

One Reviewer Notes:
"A Dream Apart" is a very impressive book. The author must have had a very clear vision of what he wanted to create when he sat down to begin writing this novel. There are two main stories threading themselves throughout this book, as told by the main character, Elliot Bergeron... Each chapter jumps back and forth between these two plots, always making you want to read 'just one more chapter...'. Throughout it all, the author maintains some very quick wit in the conversations that take place between characters, making what could be a very confusing and tragic story an incredibly enjoyable and worthwhile read. Highly recommended.

About the Author
Over the last thirteen years, Rudolf Kerkhoven has greatly improved his typing skills. He is now able to type quickly through a rather unorthodox hybrid of the prescribed home-row technique and good old hunt-and-peck. As of the summer of 2011, his estimated WPM (words per minute) is 65, although it appears doubtful that this will improve any further. Rudolf Kerkhoven is pretty impressed with this. That's more than a word a second.UK CUSTOMERS: Click on the title below to download
