After the (second) American Civil War

“We Are Dreams in the Eternal Machine demonstrates Béchard’s skill for thoughtful, purposeful prose in full force. Though the subject matter is challenging, and the structure is purposefully complex, elegant writing and earnest character development propel the story forward.” —Zoe McKenna reviews We Are Dreams in the Eternal Machine, by Deni Ellis Béchard (Toronto: House of Anansi Press, 2025) $25.99 / 9781487013356
