Description
Sleepless is a deeply personal exploration of insomnia, a nocturnal suffering that has plagued Marie Darrieussecq for twenty years. She recounts her own experiences with this condition, alongside those of fellow insomniacs who are also writers.
Through her inimitable humour and inventive approach, Darrieussecq examines the causes, implications and consequences of sleeplessness, from her attempts to find a remedy through unconventional means to her observations on bedrooms, beds, and our relationship with animals. This book is a unique blend of autobiography, clinical observation and criticism.
Ranging across topics such as trauma, capitalism's role in sleeplessness, and the impact of technology on our sleep patterns, Sleepless offers a fresh perspective on this common human experience. With its engaging style and thought-provoking themes, this book invites readers to reflect on their own relationship with sleep and wakefulness.
