After fifteen years without news from Edward, Susan receives a package with the manuscript of a novel he has just written. Married to a surgeon and mother of two children, Susan begins reading Nocturnal Animals and delves into the story of Tony Hastings, a mathematics professor who, one night, traveling with his wife and daughter, suffers an encounter on the road that will affect his life forever. For three consecutive nights, Susan reads with fascination a story that revives her sentimental past, questions her present and looms threateningly over her future. Thus, the personal stories of Susan and Tony follow one another, projecting one onto the other and weaving a plot of suspense that keeps us on edge until the end. Like Susan, we cannot stop reading, urged to know what happens to the protagonists.
Austin McGiffert Wright was an American novelist, literary critic and professor emeritus of English at the University of Cincinnati.
