"Brilliantly poised and confidently daring, Sleepless Nights is a chin-up tightrope walk along the borderline between fiction and autobiography . . . it is graceful, laconic, and wise." --Newsweek

"This original novel does everything for lost times that an irreplaceable family photograph album does--except that here, the words are worth a thousand pictures." --Philip Roth

"An extraordinary and haunting book." --Joan Didion, The New York Times Book Review

"Sleepless Nights--a novel of mental weather--enchants by the scrupulousness and zip of the narrative voice, its lithe, semi-staccato descriptions and epigrammatic dash." --Susan Sontag, The New Yorker

"Talk about exploding expectations of narrative, character, structure in a novel. It's such a brilliant, strange novel." -- Nicole Krauss, The Guardian
