The Story of the Night [Hardback, First Edition], Colm Toibín

Hardback first edition 1996, in very good condition throughout. Unclipped dust jacket with minor rubbing to edges. Otherwise a very good copy. [Little Lane Bookshop 15/04/26]

Set in Argentina in the 1980s, this novel follows the progress of a lonely young man trying to live openly with his homosexuality. His coming out mirrors the country's emergence from the repressive rule of the Generals to tentative new hope under the early Menem government.
