Sleepless Nights (New York Review Books Classics)

Sleepless Nights is a beautifully realized, hard-bitten, lyrical book that is not only Elizabeth Hardwick's finest fiction but one of the outstanding contributions to American literature of the last fifty years.

With an inspired fusion of fact and invention, this original novel does everything for lost times that an irreplaceable family photograph album does—except that here, the words are worth a thousand pictures.

An extraordinary and haunting book, Sleepless Nights enchants with the scrupulousness and zip of the narrative voice, its lithe, semi-staccato descriptions, and epigrammatic dash.

Brilliantly poised and confidently daring, this chin-up tightrope walk along the borderline between fiction and autobiography is graceful, laconic, and wise.

Don't miss out on this literary masterpiece!
