Noches insomnes

Halfway between fiction and reality, between novel and memoir, Sleepless Nights travels along a dazzling and expressly undefined path, reserved only for masterpieces. A woman reviews her entire life - with an unforgettable gallery of characters and a varied range of backdrops - and creates a notebook of memories, reflections, portraits, letters and dreams. Of a vivifying and highly original fusion of facts and fictions in which the reader enters with emotion into unknown territories, this lyrical, mutant and perfectly constructed book is not only the considered masterpiece of Elizabeth Hardwick, but one of the greatest contributions to the American literature of the last fifty years.
