Sleepless Nights

In this “novel of mental weather,” a woman looks back on her life – the parade of people, the shifting background of place – and assembles a scrapbook of memories, reflections,portraits, letters, wishes, and dreams. An inspired fusion of fact and invention, this beautifully realized “novel without a plot” is not only Hardwick’s finest fiction but one of the more notable contributions to recent American literature. First published in 1979.
