Inhaltsangabe

(Crawling at Night is a searing, unforgettable portrait of New York City and of the appetites and self-sabotaging patterns of its displaced inhabitants. It is a literate yet tongue-tied sushi chef who recites haiku in his head as he labors over shopping lists, which at once define and confine him. Alone, he dreams of Mariane, a lost alcoholic waitress who works with him at the Chelsea sushi bar)

Reseña del editor:

Ito and Mariane find themselves careening on a downward spiral through the dark streets of Manhattan. As they navigate a sea of alcohol, sex and exotic food, the reader is taken into the minds of the scarred people they encounter, immigrants from across the entire world, whose paths, like the city itself, criss-cross and overlap.
