Record of a Night Too Brief

In these haunting, lyrical stories, three young women experience loss, loneliness and unusual romance.

A woman travels through an unending night with a porcelain girlfriend, monsters of the mist and a monkey who shows no mercy; a sister mourns her brother, visible only to her, while her family welcome his would-be wife into their home; and a shop girl steps on a snake in a park and begins to see serpents lurking in the lives of everyone she knows.

Sensual, yearning, and filled with the tricks of memory and grief, Record of a Night Too Brief is an atmospheric trio of tales from a startlingly brilliant writer.
