Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

A remarkable achievement . . . The ease, the fluidity, the economy, the precision of Toibin's masterly prose make this novel sheer pleasure to read. -- Norman Thomas di Giovanni * The Times * Nobody before Toibin has made such honesty stand so clearly for political and personal integrity . . . In each of his first three novels he has invented a strong central character but Garay is by far his most memorable. -- Edmund White * Sunday Times * The Story of the Night is, in the end, a love story of the most serious and difficult kind. Toibin has told it with profound artistry and truth. -- Tobias Wolff A brave and remarkable novel, the impact of which no reader will shed. -- Dermot Bolger * Sunday Independent *

Reseña del editor:

Richard Garay lives alone with his mother, hiding his sexuality from her and from those around him. Stifled by a job he despises, he finds himself willing to take considerable risks. Set in Argentina in a time of great change, The Story of the Night is a powerful and moving novel about a man who, as the Falklands War is fought and lost, finds his own way to emerge into the world.
