  <default_description>In &lt;i&gt;Sleepless Nights&lt;/i&gt; a woman looks back on her life&amp;#8212;the parade of people, the shifting background of place&amp;#8212;and assembles a scrapbook of memories, reflections, portraits, letters, wishes, and dreams. An inspired fusion of fact and invention, this beautifully realized, hard-bitten, lyrical book is not only Elizabeth Hardwick's finest fiction but one of the outstanding contributions to American literature of the last fifty years.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[A novel in tangents, love’s nuances, and the effects of expectation, Sleepless Nights is fragmentary in its telling; but complete in its perfection. Joan Didion described it best when she referred to it as “less a ‘story about’ or ‘of’ life than a shattered meditation on it.” The langu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17228592">more...</a>]]></body>
