While The Women Are Sleeping by Javier Marias
A reflective, unsettling tale in which an observant narrator is drawn into the private life of a celebrated, older man during a film shoot in Tokyo, becoming witness to an obsession with a strikingly attractive young actor and to a sequence of intimate deceptions and ambiguous violence. Through close, sometimes intrusive description of conversations, memories and small gestures, the story blurs the line between storytelling and compulsion, exposing jealousy, moral ambiguity and the ways men manipulate events while the women around them remain unaware or asleep. The result is a compact, atmospheric meditation on desire, power and the uneasy ethics of watching and narrating other people’s lives.
