“There can scarcely be anyone in our hectic, internet-obsessed world who hasn’t suffered from insomnia at some time, but it has rarely been written about so engagingly as by Anders Bortne in Sleepless. I’m absolutely delighted that Sandstone Press is to be the English language publisher of his witty and fascinating investigation into sleep – and the lack of it.”
And if that isn’t enough, Gads Forlag in Denmark has just bought the Danish rights.
