In the hospital, being treated for cervical cancer, Mia meditates on her life, her ex-girlfriend, and the state of her sanity. This heartbreaking autobiographical novel dramatizes the brutality of disease and its effects on both mind and body. Ultimately, Let Me Sleep Until It Is Just a Dream is an examination--as Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold writes--of what a person is when "all she has left is language." Stifoss-Hanssen's debut is a powerful piece of work, whose images and insights will remain in the mind for a long time.
