At once immediate and epic, funny and devastating, this new novel by the author of Shadowbahn is a transcendent dispatch from the intersection of art and politics, passion and memory. One November night in a canyon outside L.A., Zan Nordhoca failed novelist turned pirate radio DJs it's before the television with his small, adopted black daughter, watching the election of his country's first black president, Barack Obama.

When they find themselves scattered and strewn across two continents, a mysterious stranger with a secret appears, who sends the story spiraling forty years into the past. Sweeping from 1960s London and '70s Berlin to 21st Century California, and the beginning of civilization Ethiopia, These Dreams of You chronicles not only a family struggling to salvage its bonds but a twelve-year-old boy readying himself for what the years to come hold
