Sinossi
Gli Stati Uniti sono afflitti da un'epidemia di insonnia così forte da essere letale. Trish, sorella di una delle prime vittime, lavora per un'associazione non-profit che effettua trasfusioni di sonno: è stata lei a trovare la Piccola A, l'unica donatrice universale finora conosciuta, una neonata il cui sonno purissimo non causa mai crisi di rigetto nei pazienti; ma mentre la ricerca di donatori continua senza sosta, il padre della Piccola A è sempre più riluttante a sottoporre la figlia ai prelievi. Quando dal sonno di un donatore sconosciuto si scatena un'infezione di orribili incubi, Trish dovrà prendere una decisione difficilissima.

Really enjoyed this but the ending was so abrupt. That works for short stories (those being Russell's strength), but when I invest in a novella-length story that is so engrossing, I want a little more resolution.
I want to preface this review by saying that I was very excited to read this novella. I have heard so many great things about Karen Russell, and I thought this would be a nice little introduction to her writing style. So I happily paid the $3.99 on Amazon, thinking I was in for a special treat. Boy
