FAITHFUL AND VIRTUOUS NIGHT

Farrar, Straus and Giroux ISBN: 978-0374152017 ABOUT THE BOOK You enter the world of this spellbinding book through one of its many dreamlike portals. Each time you enter, it’s the same place but it has been arranged differently. You were a woman. You were a man. This is a story of adventure, an encounter with the unknown, a knight’s undaunted journey into the kingdom of death. This is a story of the world you’ve always known, that first primer where “on page three a dog appeared, on page five a ball,” and every familiar facet has been made to shimmer like the contours of a dream. Faithful and Virtuous Night tells a single story, but the parts are mutable and the great sweep of its narrative mysterious and fateful, heartbreaking, and charged with wonder.
