Review: WHY JUAN CAN’T SLEEP: A MYSTERY? By Karl Beckstrand

This is the story of why Juan can’t sleep. Noises surround him. Dreams assault him.

Story is composed in a series of haikus, it seems. It’s almost as if random sentences were pasted together.

Ex: “At least my arm’s asleep. Drowsy, drifting, dreaming, DRUMMING? Dizzy Dancers.”

This didn’t really make sense. And why did they question of this was a mystery? Why Juan can’t sleep: A Mystery? Was there really any question in that?

Nice illustrations though.

 

My rating: 2 stars
