Excerpt from The Man Who Couldn't Sleep
SO from the first I did my best to live up to those earlier affiliations. I found myself passed on, from one mysteriously barricaded seclusion to the other. The tea-hour visit merged into the formal dinner, and the formal dinner into the even more formal box at the horse-show, and then a call to fill Up a niche at the Metropolitan on a Caruso-night, or a vacancy for an Assembly Dance at Sherry's, or a week at Tuxedo, in winter, when the skating was good.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This literary work of fiction centers upon the struggles of the narrator, Witter Kerfoot, who has risen in literary society thanks to exaggerated and romanticized adventure stories set in Alaska, despite never having visited the region himself. One dinner with an old friend, recently returned from Alaska, bursts Witter's bubble of deceit, and the writer sinks into a depressive state where he loses his ability to write. To escape his woes, he takes a road trip to Virginia but is quickly dragged back to the harsh reality of his failures when he accidentally kills a man with his car while driving under the influence of medication. The remainder of the book explores the narrator's mental state, his inner turmoil, and his fear of discovery of both his secret and his crime, while dissecting his damaged psyche through themes of unchecked ambition and denial. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
