Beschreibung

A haunting novel from the iconic Irish legend behind The Country Girls trilogy.

''The taboo-breaking, the fabulous prose - there''s no one like Edna O''Brien.'' Anne Enright
''Novels of heart-breaking empathy, rigorous honesty and peerless beauty.'' Eimear McBride
''A profound intelligence spurred on by a tangible, fizzing joy.'' Megan Nolan
''Brilliant and brave.'' Ann Patchett
''A revolution.'' John Banville
''Glittering energy.'' Colm Tóibín

Edna O''Brien''s chilling spectre of a novel, Night, is narrated by one of her most memorable characters, Mary Hooligan. Lying on a four-poster bed, unable to sleep, she recounts her (mis)adventures, courtships, and sexual encounters of the most transgressive kind in a narrative voice of blistering, radical originality.

With an introduction by Andrew O''Hagan
