THE COLONY OF UNREQUITED DREAMS
by
WAYNE JOHNSTON
The Colony of Unrequited Dreams has garnered national and international praise for its distinctive blend of fact and fiction. Johnston weaves the story of Joey Smallwood, arguably Newfoundland's most controversial political figure and undoubtedly its unlikeliest romantic hero. It tells of Smallwood's ambition and friendship with Sheilagh Fielding. Together, they escape Newfoundland and become socialists in New York. Returning home, he becomes a populist and is alternately plagued and inspired by Fielding, now a popular newspaper columnist.

In this humorous novel about the art world and its excesses, the appearance of a lost painting that may or may not be by Bruegel occasions a series of exercises in deceit, betrayal, and blind optimism when the man who comes across it at the home of a neighbor resolves that he must possess it at all costs. |

An unlikely con man wagers wife, wealth, and sanity in pursuit of an elusive Old Master. Invited to dinner by the boorish local landowner, Martin Clay, an easily distracted philosopher, and his art-historian wife are asked to assess three dusty paintings blocking the draught from the chimney. But hiding beneath the soot is nothing less-Martin believes-than a lost work by Bruegel. So begins a hilarious trail of lies and concealments, desperate schemes and soaring hopes as Martin, betting all that he owns and much that he doesn't, embarks on a quest to prove his hunch, win his wife over, and separate the painting from its owner. |
