The Story of the Night

by Colm Toibin

About this title: In Colm Toibin's novel--both a thriller and a love story--set in Argentina during the time of the generals, Richard Garay, a gay man, lives alone with his mother, hiding his sexuality from her and from the world--a repression that parallels the government's refusal to acknowledge the political atrocities occurring during its regime. Stifled by a job he despises, Richard finds himself able to take chances, both sexual and professional, when the Falklands War enables him to discard the Britishness he has inherited from his mother.

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.

"This book keeps the reader on edge, intentionally. Toibin is an impressive author with incredible ability to explore emotional, political, psychological, and sexual depths. The Heather Blazing was better though."
