Format: Hardcover, 368 pages
Park opened his ashtray, scooped out a handful of change, and was offering it to the wild-eyed sleepless when the person mine detonated several blocks away and the blast thrummed the cup of his windshield, ruffling the hairs on his weapon with a rush of wind hotter than the night.
All the when, Park is challenged by his noble attempt to fight guilt and perversion in the face of overwhelming odds and the dilemma has to be faced: Does his crusade really material? It sounds a lot favor contemporary Los Angeles, which brings the reader back to comparisons with Huxley, Orwell, Levin and Bradbury where the terror is real and assumed.
Like many Ira Levin novels (The Boys From Brazil, The Stepford Wives) the basic prelude namely uncomplicated, nearly laughable. Yet Hustons vivid specifications and chippy talk lift Sleepless to literary status. Like Levin and Bradbury, Huston takes the problems we face today, turns them ashore their sides, grates them against a stark, futuristic background, and lets his personas respond.
He flinched [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the change falling from his hand, radiating on the asphalt, the tinkle of it kicking and rolling in each way, lost in the echoes bouncing off the faces of the architectures lining the street, the bells set off when skylights were minced and parked motorcars beat onto their sides.

Huston is going HBO to develop a sequence based on one of his before novels, The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death. As agreeable as his writings are, they could translate brilliantly to the television or video shade.
