REVIEW EXCERPTS:

    Lance Olsen: "first-rate collection of speculative fiction imagined by 
Vonnegut, Kafka, and Swift, and written by Bosch. ... It is extraordinary 
that it took a small press--even a first-rate one like Permeable...--to 
bring this assembly of wonderfully alive stuff ... into the world."

    Jeff VanderMeer: "The three best stories in The Final Dream--"Taking 
From the Top," "Megabride," and "A Moebius Trip"--demonstrate a dazzling 
ability to play with the conceptions and conventions of science fiction. 
In a better world, these stories would have won or at least been finalists 
for the Nebula Award."

    Paul DiFilippo, in Asimov's SF Magazine: "Pearlman has a predilection 
for tackling the big issues of the late twentieth century in a bracingly 
zesty way. Overpopulation, ecological hypocrisy, authoritarianism, the clash 
of the traditions of the past with the demands of the future--all these 
and more come in for a savage skewering. ... And the title story illuminates 
all too convincingly how willingly people will give up their rights even to 
dream for themselves, with what disastrous consequences.
    "... Pearlman's world is full of prickly characters, their rough 
edges and bull-headed individuality putting them constantly at odds 
with society, and simultaneously endearing them to the reader. 
... this volume assumes must-buy status."

    Joe R. Landsdale: "A single story by Daniel Pearlman signals the world 
that here's a rare and wonderful talent."
