A short comic story collected in issue 19 of The Sandman, it revisits Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream from the perspective of Oberon, Titania, and the faerie court. By reframing the backstage world of a classic play through fantasy, it quietly unsettles the boundary between art and reality.

Edna O'Brien
A collection of twelve stories set in Irish villages and cities, tracing the lives of women shaped by loneliness, love, and loss. Like images cast by a magic lantern, memories and desires surface through O'Brien's passionate and exacting prose. Family tensions, village gossip, romantic longing, and nostalgia for the Irish landscape run through each story. Between an opening sequence of eccentric village portraits and the title story's Dublin party, every tale quietly illuminates lives held together by little more than endurance.
André Gide, Dorothy Bussy

クロード シモン, 平岡 篤頼
