The Story of the Night

A daring and deeply moving novel set in Argentina in the time of the Generals - a time when the streets are empty at night, and people have trained themselves not to see. Richard Garay lives with his mother. Stifled by his job, Richard is willing to take chances, both sexually and professionally. But Argentina is changing, and as his country edges toward peace, Richard tentatively begins a love affair. The result is a powerful, brave, and poignant novel of sex, death, and the difficulties of connecting one's inner life with the outside world.
