"After leaving Peru to pursue graduate school north of the Arctic circle, Claudia Ulloa Donoso began blogging about insomnia. Not hers, necessarily - the blog was never defined as fact or fiction.

Characters real and unreal, seductive, shape-changing, and baffling come together in smooth prose that leaves readers questioning their own truth"-- Provided by publisher
