"A brave and remarkable novel, the impact of which no reader will shed" - Dermot Bolger, "Sunday Independent". Richard Garay lives alone with his mother, hiding his sexuality from her and from those around him. Stifled by a job he despises, he finds himself willing to take considerable risks. Set in Argentina in a time of great change, "The Story of the Night" is a powerful and moving novel about a man who, as the Falklands War is fought and lost, finds his own way to emerge into the world.""The Story of the Night" is, in the end, a love story of the most serious and difficult kind. Toibin has told it with profound artistry and truth." - Tobias Wolff. "Nobody before Toibin has made such honesty stand so clearly for political and personal integrity...In each of his first three novels, he has invented a strong central character, but Garay is by far his most memorable" - Edmund White, "Sunday Times". "A remarkable achievement...The ease, the fluidity, the economy, the precision of Toibin's masterly prose make this novel sheer pleasure to read" - Norman Thomas di Giovanni, "The Times".

很好读，但故事被拉得太长，最后结局也可以看成两人提前进入五十年后…算好结局
评分被封面吸引，手臂很性感。
评分抛开故事的主题和地点设置差异之外，总感觉跟Toibin的其他书相比有些不同，不过语言都是很质朴的，很好读的一本书。/ 三年后重读这本书，除了为Richard和Pablo的感情唏嘘之外，更加关注七八十年代南美社会变动的大背景、Richard母亲对自己的身份认同、以及AIDS这场改变同志史甚至人类史的plague在九十年代前后对患者尤其是同性恋者的巨大影响。还在考虑会不会用这部作品写毕业论文，至少身体政治这方面已经有人涉及到了。
评分很好读，但故事被拉得太长，最后结局也可以看成两人提前进入五十年后…算好结局
评分让人忍不住想要把The Story of the Night 和Blackwater Lightship一起比较，后者以母亲为主视角的叙述，对死亡和爱情的描述似乎过于冷静、旁观，更喜欢前者，书名富有含义，第一人称的叙述更加沉浸，切实，令人心碎。
