“The book is well served by a detailed introduction describing the life of Cho’lpon and the literary and political context of the time, as well as a glossary of historical terms. Reader, rest assured: cultural glosses apart, you are in for compelling storytelling. Anguished love, cunning plots, witty jokes, and salivating recipes will make your journey memorable—which will all, hopefully, will make you read more Uzbek literature!” —Filip Noubel, Asymptote

Night (1934), the first novel of Abdulhamid Sulaymon o'g'li Cho'lpon's unfinished dilogy of novels, Night and Day, gives readers a glimpse into the everyday struggles of men and women in Russian imperial Turkestan. More than just historical prose, Cho'lpon's magnum opus reads as poetic elegy and turns on dramatic irony. Though it depicts the terrible fate of a young girl condemned to marry a sexual glutton, nothing is what it seems. Readers find themselves questioning the nature of women's liberation, colonialism, resistance, and even the intentions of the author, whose life and sequel, Day, were lost to Stalinist terror.
