Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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, hiding his sexuality from her and from society. 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 diffculties of connecting one's inner life with the outside world. Synopsis:To coincide with paperback publication of his critically acclaimed bestseller, The Master, a paperback reissue of Toibin's third novel, winner of the 1998 Ferro-Grumley Award for best gay novel, and on Lambada's list of the best 100 gay novels of all time. Synopsis:The streets of Buenos Aires are empty at night, and people notice nothing because they have trained themselves not to see. This is Argentina in the time of the generals. Richard Garay lives alone with his mother, hiding his homosexuality from her and from the world. Stifled by a job he despises, he finds himself willing to take chances, both sexual and professional. But in the aftermath of the Falklands War, new freedoms seem possible, and the arrival of two American diplomats offer him hope and the prospect of making his fortune. As his country slowly makes its peace with the outside world, Richard tentatively begins a love affair - but the Faustian bargain he has made with experience gradually darkens. "The Story of the Night is a powerful and moving mix of politics, passion, and intrigue that confirms Tiibin as one of the finest writers of his generation.
