Alfred becomes desperate and paranoid, suspecting the others are leagued in conspiracy against him and is before long approaching the limits of physical and mental endurance." "Haunted by the ghost of his scientist father, unable to escape the looming influence of his mother, and anxious to complete the thesis that will make his name, Alfred's preoccupations multiply in this wilderness. As, piece by piece, his equipment is lost or ruined and his thinking becomes ever more disjointed, he moves towards the final act of vanity which will trigger a catastrophe."--Jacket.

Beyond Sleep is certainly well written and kept me engaged with the story throughout, though I feel as though there are some cultural nuances that remain over my head for lack of knowledge about Dutch and Norwegian culture, not to mention this was originally written decades ago. All in all, worth a single read in my opinion, but likely won't be coming back to it any time soon.
