À propos de cet ebook
A haunting novel from the iconic 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.
