Customer Reviews

For all those sleepless nights

This collection by Jane Messer is brilliant. A must for anyone interested in the representation of 'sleep' in literature.

Guest Room Bed-side Book

I may keep it in my guest room but I read it often myself when I can't sleep. It is a collection of short stories from well-known authors (Mark Twain, Colette) and some new authors (ummm...) dealing in some way with being awake at night. In some cases it's by choice, others it's simply insomnia. The stories are generally only a few pages long; PERFECT for reading at 3 or 4 am.
