Blue Dreams - William Hanley

Walter Hartman is a successful television executive whose restless imagination extends far beyond the boardroom. Married but perpetually chasing new thrills, he embarks on a series of increasingly extravagant sexual adventures, pursuing fantasies through affairs, neighbourhood swingers' parties, and encounters involving his glamorous sister-in-law, Faith. His search for excitement becomes an obsession, blurring the line between fantasy and fulfilment. A product of the permissive 1970s, Blue Dreams mixes satirical humour with explicit erotic fiction, following a man determined to reinvent his life through sexual experimentation. Equal parts social comedy and adult novel, it captures the era's fascination with liberated lifestyles while charting one man's relentless pursuit of pleasure.
