Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"I'll See You in My Dreams" by William Campbell Gault is a novel that blends elements of science fiction and psychological exploration. Written in the early 1950s, the story delves into the themes of desire, infidelity, and the complexities of personal relationships. The narrative is centered around Ted Truesdale, a man grappling with his mundane life alongside his loving but conventional wife, Ann, and the allure of a beautiful blonde neighbor. The plot unfolds as Ted finds himself increasingly preoccupied with dreams of the blonde, complicating his feelings towards Ann. His interactions with a talking squirrel, Hamilton, introduce a fantastical element, as Hamilton represents a deity who aims to resurrect the god of Lust in a contemporary form. Ted's escapades lead him through a journey of self-discovery, exploring the depths of his desires and the consequences of his actions. Ultimately, the story challenges the nature of love, fidelity, and the battle between fantasy and reality, culminating in a poignant resolution where both Ted and Ann seek to rekindle their connection amidst the chaos of their inner and outer lives.
