In the tradition of Kafka’s Parables and Paradoxes and The Book of Embraces by Eduardo Galeano, this collection of short essays and “alternative versions” is a vivid, perhaps even shocking, reminder that language, self, and reality are based on social consensus, an unspoken agreement to see the world in a particular, limited way. By breaking open these conventions, Colourless Green Ideas reveals the possibilities inherent in the human story. To “sleep furiously” is to dream. Once we know we are dreaming, we begin to consider the possibility of waking up.
