"Real and Surreal" is a collection of nine literary short stories in which reality and imagination intertwine. As the boundaries between the external world and the inner life begin to dissolve, the past seeps into the present, love gives way to uncertainty, and the mind creates alternate realities in its search for meaning and survival.
From the haunting tragedy of "The Bride of the Mire," to the dreamlike reunion in "The Empty Street," and the symbolic journey of "Satan and I," the stories explore love, memory, loneliness, loss, identity, and fate through a blend of realism, psychological insight, and surreal imagination.
Written in prose that is simple, vivid, and quietly lyrical, this collection invites readers into the inner worlds of its characters, where reality is no longer fixed, and imagination becomes another way of understanding the human experience.
Ideal for readers of literary, psychological, and surreal fiction, "Real and Surreal" offers stories that continue to resonate long after they are finished.
