Awake!: A Reader for the Sleepless Book

Although millions of books have served to help the sleepless relax, Awake! will make sleeplessness fun. Fiction (including previously unpublished stories by Aimee Bender and Arthur Bradford); essays (from Yale neurobiologists to Priscella Becker); the probably true fictions (like Jonathan Ames's masturbation solution to insomnia); comics (Howard Cruse, Seth Tobocman); poetry (Charles Simic, Rebecca Wolff); Davy Rothbart of FOUND MAgazine even chips in some found texts; and the editor finds some excerpts from the blogosphere — all combine to offer a nighttime companion for the sleepless reader.
