Fire and the Night
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fire and the Night is an American novel by Philip José Farmer. It was published in 1962 by Regency Books, as a paperback costing 50 cents. Unusual for Farmer, the novel contains no science fictional or otherwise fantastic themes. It was his first "mainstream" book, but did not attract much attention from critics or readers alike.
Fire and the Night tells the story of a Caucasian man and an African-American woman who work at a contemporary steel mill. The man becomes attracted to the woman, who is married, and the book follows their struggle to understand their feelings.
