Dreams of Bill

As president, Bill Clinton is the focus of national attention and, for some, the very embodiment of our hopes and fears. No wonder so many people find him visiting them in their dreams. Julia and Bruce Miller have compiled hundreds of these "dreams of Bill, " by people all across America, and the result is a funny, fascinating, scary, surreal, and often unintentionally poetic collection of subconscious musings about our chief executive. Inspired by their own dreams about Bill Clinton, the Millers placed ads in newspapers around the country to solicit tales from other dreamers. What they compiled is as funny and profound a look at America's collective unconscious as you will ever read. In Dreams of Bill, Clinton is a friend, lover, father, brother, dentist, veterinarian, counselor, robot, alien, and much, much more. He jogs, kisses, cajoles, gives speeches, makes love, wrestles the Antichrist, drills teeth, wears a dress, smokes pot, works at a circus, saves cats, becomes a "being of pure light, " and does just about everything else imaginable. Hillary, Socks, and Chelsea make cameo appearances as well.
