Insomnia

Originally written in 1967 and not released in its uncensored form until 2003, Alberts Bels infamous novel, Insomnia (translated from the Latvian, Bezmiegs) has become aclassic of Cold War writing and continues to exert a major influence over Latvian literature.

The story is filtered through the thoughts, emotions and fantasies of the main character, a man of detachment who is content to observe his fellow tenants and the wider world around him from the tired luxury of his apartment and daily routines.

When a young woman, fleeing some unknown threat and in desperate need of help, comes into his orbit, he's forced out of this inertia and into the active role of protector. There begins a quest which, for both of them, has the power to jolt them into a new way of being and living.
