What Happens at Night by Peter Cameron

4.0

Burrowing into a novel that crescendos with inertia, reading What Happens at Night is very much an experience of drifting into the unconscious. The images are as they might appear in dreams: both vivid and foggy. Characters are connected to each other not as it relates to the narrative, but by something far deeper and more elemental. Peter Cameron has brought us a surrealist painting in disguise of a novel. It is a murky, romantic piece, not meant to be read by the bedside but hung in a gallery (surrounded by smoke and mirrors - perhaps in another grand European hotel).
