The Dream Lover combines two previous books of short stories: On the Yankee Station and The Destiny of Nathalie 'X'.[2] ReceptionWriting in the Financial Times, Jerome de Groote said that Boyd's book "demonstrates both the broad range of his imagination and the development of his taut prose style".[3] In a review for The Observer, Vanessa Thorpe said: "Boyd believes the short form has been key to his evolution as a writer. He says in his introduction to this selection, drawn from across his career, that these brief escapades have allowed him to vary his style and technique... Passive or accidental observers, [including] the title story of the collection, 'Dream Lover', are crucial to what Boyd does. It is the simple, heartfelt stories which are the most vivid. All of them though, even the ones that crawl inside the heads of some quite creepy folk, such as 'My Girl in Skin-Tight Jeans' or 'Not Yet, Jayette', are compelling".[4] Laurence Phelan, reviewing the book for The Independent on Sunday, said: "If there can be said to be a common thread, it's nothing more than the infinite vagaries of the human heart and the complexities of the mind... All that links them is their erudition, refined prose-style and precisely honed form".[1] References1. ^1 {{Cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/the-dream-lover-by-william-boyd-801578.html |title=The Dream Lover, By William Boyd |last=Phelan |first=Laurence |date=30 March 2008 |work=The Independent on Sunday |access-date=11 March 2018}} 2. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.bokklubben.no/noveller/the-dream-lover-william-boyd/produkt.do?produktId=2988338 |title=William Boyd Gi vurdering The Dream Lover |website=De norske Bokklubbene |access-date=13 March 2018}} 3. ^{{Cite news |url= https://www.ft.com/content/5a773d14-e8c5-11dc-913a-0000779fd2ac|title=The Dream Lover |last=de Groote |first=Jerome |date=8 March 2008 |work=Financial Times |access-date=11 March 2018}} 4. ^{{Cite news |url= https://www.theguardian.com/books/2008/mar/02/features.review1|title=Too good to be true |last=Thorpe |first=Vanessa |date=2 March 2008 |work=The Observer |access-date=11 March 2018}} External links
