All the Waking Hours: Essays - Paperback
Description
by Erin Wunker (Author)
A book about what it means to care during dark times, for readers of Jenny Odell and Deborah Levy.
In these lyric interrogations of boredom, aging, and
magical thinking, acclaimed essayist Erin Wunker doomscrolls
disasters, embraces style as survival, and juxtaposes slow-moving
childhood summers with the contradictory experiences of
quotidian caregiving and intense love for her child. Artful, tender,
and true, these essays articulate the anxieties and hopes that come
with being alive in a hyper-mediated, ever-demanding world.
