Nights at the Dream Cafe

The Dream Cafe, a popular neighborhood restaurant, is a welcoming haven for all kinds of people. The owner feels that the cae’s exceptional nighttime goings-on should be preserved, so he asks Tom Gibbs, a young writer, to be its official scribe. Spanning the calendar year before the United States’ involvement in World War II, the novel is comprised of a series of chronological stories–narrated by Tom Gibbs–each describing events at the cafe on a single night. John Mahoney, himself a young man during the time period evoked, brings vitality and veracity to the novel’s mood and content. Anyone wishing to relive–or discover–the pre-WWII era will enjoy reading Nights at the Dream Cafe.
