Sleepless Nights by Elizabeth Hardwick.It came close but one of the founders of the New York Review of Books and reputable critic won over the prize-winning Japanese author. I've read Hardwick's critical works but not her fiction so this should be something of an adventure. Hopefully we'll have a lot of people reading and, more importantly, enjoying the novel. The deadline is July 31st.

Cool. I'm only a SOG member by proxy (that is, I read the blog), but I do have this particular book. Maybe I will dig it out of the TBR pile and be able to enjoy your comments even more.
Great! I'm looking forward to it.
I don't have a blog, but would love to take part in the discussion. May I?

I ordered the book awhile ago but it still hasn't arrived! I will read it when it gets here but I may enter the discussion a bit late.
Rachel I have no idea when you made your comment and I hope you're still checking in. Of course you may join in, owning a blog is not required.
Heather that's fine. It's such a small novel that even if you get to it tardily it won't take long for you to catch up. Glad to see you gradually re-entering on-line activities.
My copy finally arrived today. As soon as I finish my other book club read (Wind in the Willows) I'll start this one and hopefully be ready in time for the discussion date!
I started Sleepless nights and Don Quixote today. I don't usually read two novels at the same time. It's good that Sleepless nights is so short--but good.
