About this product
Product Information
I used to think, Nora said, that people just went to sleep, or if they did not go to sleep that they were themselves, but now - she lit a cigarette and her hands trembled - now I see that the night does soemthing to a person's identity. Djuna Barnes Where will you go, then, all you who suffer from sleeplessness, and you who walk the streets waiting for the sun to rise? August Strindberg While what is felt in one's sleep and dreams has long been regarded as revealing - in life as well as in literature - the experience of insomnia has remained a blank. Yet many of literature's well-known characters have spent nights sleepless: Heathcliff roamed the moors, Hemingway's waiter didn't want to close up for the night. Plath's teenage self stayed up for a month. And there are many others who can't sleep for lust, for joy, for the burden of memory or madness, for despair or their unremitting consciousness. Each of these insomniacs has something special to tell us about the night, those secret hours when all good citizens should be asleep. Bedlam presents passages on insomnia from world literature past and present. Writers include Isak Dinesen, Marcel Proust, Raymond Carver,Marguerite Duras, Colette, Ovid, Christina Stead, Chekhov, Ernest Hemingway, Oscar Wilde, Dorothy Parker and Elizabeth Jolley.
