Publisher's Note

Editiorial Reviews
Review by Marcella Edwards (Literary Review, March 2001): "[A] taut, searing portrait of the effects of Nazism on the psychic and physical landscape of Austria....The clarity of Wray's prose style both belies and reveals the depth and scope of his concerns...."
Review by Kevin Grandfield (Book, May/June 2001): "[S]tylistic lapses weaken Wray's otherwise tight web of small-town relationships."
Review by Hugh MacPherson (Times Literary Supplement, 05/04/2001): "THE RIGHT HAND OF SLEEP successfully conjures a feeling of menace and the claustrophobia of the town. By the end, however, it is not clear to the reader, any more than to the other characters of the book, what it is that drives Oskar in his behaviour, alternately confrontational and evasive."
