Description
Insomnia by Marina Benjamin explores an unsettling condition that challenges our understanding of ourselves and creativity. This thought-provoking memoir delves into the philosophical and poetical aspects of insomnia, tracing its connections to history, culture, literature, and art. Benjamin's writing offers a fresh perspective on what it means to be wakeful in the dark, shedding light on the workings of our inner minds. By examining the threshold experience of insomnia, she reveals its intimate relationship with trespass and contamination - the illicit importing of day into night. Through her account, Benjamin aims to illuminate the complexities of human consciousness, delivering a startling new look at the nature of wakefulness in the dark.
