520 An ordinary town is transformed by a mysterious illness
that triggers perpetual sleep in this mesmerizing novel
from the New York Times bestselling author of The Age of
Miracles. "This book is stunning."—Emily St. John
Mandel, author of Station Eleven Named one of the most
anticipated books of 2019 by Vogue, Huffpost, Real Simple,
PopSugar, Literary Hub, BuzzFeed, Bustle and Vulture. One
night in an isolated college town in the hills of Southern
California, a first-year student stumbles into her dorm
room, falls asleep—and doesn't wake up. She sleeps
through the morning, into the evening. Her roommate, Mei,
cannot rouse her. Neither can the paramedics, nor the
perplexed doctors at the hospital. When a second girl
falls asleep, and then a third, Mei finds herself thrust
together with an eccentric classmate as panic takes hold
of the college and spreads to the town. A young couple
tries to protect their newborn baby as the once-quiet
streets descend into chaos. Two sisters turn to each other
for comfort as their survivalist father prepares for
disaster.Those affected by the illness, doctors discover,
are displaying unusual levels of brain activity, higher
than has ever been recorded before. They are dreaming
heightened dreams—but of what? Written in luminous
prose, The Dreamers is a breathtaking and beautiful novel,
startling and provocative, about the possibilities
contained within a human life—if only we are
awakened to them.Praise for The Dreamers"Walker's roving
fictive eye by turns probes characters' innermost feelings
and zooms out to coolly parse topics like reality versus
delusion. . . . [It has] the perfect ambiguous frame for a
tense and layered plot."—O: The Oprah
Magazine"[Walker's] gripping, provocative novel should
come with a warning: may cause insomnia."—People
(Book of the Week)"2019's first must-read novel . . .
Alternately terrifying and moving . . . The Dreamers is
overflowing with humanity."—Jezebel "The Dreamers is
a startling, beautiful portrait of a community in peril. .
. . This is an exquisite work of intimacy. Walker's
sentences are smooth, emotionally arresting—of a
true, ethereal beauty. . . . This book achieves [a]
dazzling, aching humanity."—Entertainment Weekly
