"What begins as a simple, distracted conversation between husband and wife, Glenn and Wendy Ganges--him reading a library book and her working on her computer--becomes an exploration of being and the passage of time. As they head to bed, Wendy exhausted by a fussy editor and Glenn energized by his reading and no small amount of caffeine, the story begins to fracture. Glenn's mind doesn't so much wander as patrol--awake to the richly entwined subjects of time, space, love, home, and human consciousness. Huizenga's deft line and well-honed storytelling skills let us hover by Glenn's side in the agreeable zone between wakefulness and oblivion. <i>The River at Night</i> is a modern formalist comics masterpiece as inventive, empathetic, and funny as anything ever written." --, Provided by publisher
