Beyond Sleep

By (author) Willem Frederik Hermans, Translated by Ina Rilke





This book is currently unavailable. Enquire to check if we can source a used copy


| book description |

A blackly comic classic from the author of An Untouched House A young geologist hungry for fame journeys to the mountains of Norway's Arctic north on a research expedition, but soon realizes he's more likely be eaten alive by mosquitoes than win glory. Freezing, wet and plagued by insomnia, Alfred becomes increasingly desperate and paranoid under the midnight sun, until he takes a catastrophic decision. This dazzlingly dark classic is at once a gripping survival story, a mordant farce and a peerless evocation of mental disintegration.
