After learning that he has an incurable disease, the character in Night Letters sits in his hotel room in Venice and writes a series of letters to a friend detailing his revelations and experiences. As the scent of death fills his nostrils, he paints - like a piece of Renaissance art - a picture that encompasses tales of 12th century India, a mystical amulet, a Russian baroness, theories on Casanova's exploits, an examination of Dante's idea of utopia and meditations on the notions of death.

This was a very interesting book esp as the author himself is HIV positive. Into the surprise bookbag.

Big FAT Apologies (!!) for not journalling this one earlier - I plucked it out of the Surprise Bookbag bag on Christmas Eve when it arrived on my doorstep. It has been on my bedside table awaiting my attention since then, while I have been busy with my TBR pile. I'm looking forward to reading it!
