A narrator suffering from insomnia and panic over the collapse of the world, a genius composer who turns into a bloody killer in the Renaissance, living characters and others who rebelled on the pages of books, and a dog who listens to classical music... How does the darkness of the night bring all these together?
In his most daring artistic endeavor, Walaa Kamal takes us on two nights filled with strangeness and wonder, presenting his vision of the world and humanity through a bizarre night spent by the narrator at a gas station. Meanwhile, in another time, specifically in 16th-century Italy, we experience the events of another bloody night with horrific consequences, recounted through investigation reports and eyewitness accounts. Through the pages of the novel and its characters, we embark on a breathtaking existential and psychological adventure, realizing that night is not only what we experience, but also what dwells within us.
