This short book engages the myriad dimensions of Night, through
ancient rituals, medieval storytelling, modern philosophy, and
futuristic images, in order to explore the human experience of the
after-dark. It thereby tracks Night through the prisms of its most
fascinating practitioners: namely, those who keep strange hours and
navigate the various potentialities of nocturnal experience (both
of terror and enchantment). The Thief's Night; The Runaway's Night;
The Drunkard's Night; The Insomniac's Night; The Revolutionary's
Night; The Lunatic's Night; The Sorcerer's Night. Undoubtedly, each
of these conceptual figures provides a unique gateway into
understanding the powerful sensorial effects of evening, as well as
its vast connections to larger questions of time, space, fear,
nothingness, desire, death, forgetting, vision, secrecy,
criminality, monstrosity, and the body.
