Elizabeth Hardwick

Sleepless Nights (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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