Thank you to Dianne Reeves Angel for her advance review of No One Dreams in Color. The full review will be published in an upcoming edition of The Literary Yard. Excerpt below:
“This is not a novel driven by plot in the conventional sense. It is a book about sensation, perception, and the lingering afterimages of experience. Biscello invites readers to slow down and inhabit the spaces between events — the thresholds where memory, art, and longing converge. The result is a work that feels intimate and expansive at once. No One Dreams in Color is a beautifully rendered exploration of how we carry loss, how we pursue the echoes of beauty, and how stories shape the contours of our lives. It is a novel to savor, to reread, and to linger long after the final page.”
Originally from Brooklyn, NY, writer, poet, performer, and playwright, John Biscello, has lived in the high-desert grunge-wonderland of Taos, New Mexico since 2001.
He is the author of four novels, Broken Land, a Brooklyn Tale, Raking the Dust, Nocturne Variations, and No Man’s Brooklyn; a collection of stories, Freeze Tag, two poetry collections, Arclight and Moonglow on Mercy Street; and a fable, The Jackdaw and the Doll, illustrated by Izumi Yokoyama. He also adapted classic fables, which were paired with the vintage illustrations of artist, Paul Bransom, for the collection: Once Upon a Time, Classic Fables Reimagined. His produced, full-length plays include: LOBSTERS ON ICE, ADAGIO FOR STRAYS, THE BEST MEDICINE, ZEITGEIST, U.S.A., and WEREWOLVES DON’T WALTZ.
