Awake


Fiction (including previously unpublished stories by Aimee Bender and Arthur Bradford); essays (from Yale neurobiologists to Priscilla Becker) and the probably true fictions (like Jonathan Ames's masturbation solution to insomnia); comics (Howard Cruse, Shannon Wheeler); poetry (Charles Simic, Rebecca Wolff)...even Davy Rothbart of Found Magazine chips in some found texts, while Louise Bourgeois offers her art and one of the Suicide Girls her photographic insomnia diaries...all combine to offer a nighttime companion for the sleepless reader.
