The House of Sleep - Jonathan Coe's comic tale of love and
obsession Sarah is a narcoleptic who has dreams so vivid she
mistakes them for real events; Robert has his life changed for ever
by the misunderstandings arising from her condition; Terry, the
insomniac, spends his wakeful nights fuelling his obsession with
movies; and the increasingly unstable Dr Gregory Dudden sees sleep
as a life-shortening disease which must be eradicated. . . A group
of students sharing a house. They fall in and out of love, they
drift apart. Yet a decade later they are drawn back together by a
series of coincidences involving their obsession with sleep - and
each other. . . Winner of the 1998 Prix Medicis Etranger, The House
of Sleep is an intensely moving and frequently hilarious novel
about love, obsession and sleep. 'Moving, clever, pleasurable,
smart...one of the best books of the year' Malcolm Bradbury, The
Times 'There are bits that make you laugh out loud and others that
make your heart ache' Guardian 'Fiercely clever, witty, wise,
hopeful...a compellingly beautiful tale of love and loss' The Times
Literary Supplement Jonathan Coe's novels are filled with biting
political satire, moving and astute observations of life and
hilarious set pieces that have made him one of the most popular
writers of his generation. His other titles, The Accidental Woman,
The Rotters' Club (winner of the Everyman Wodehouse prize), The
Closed Circle, The Dwarves of Death, What a Carve Up! (winner of
the 1995 John Llewellyn Rhys Prize) and The Rain Before it Falls,
are all available as Penguin paperback.
