All The Waking Hours - Essays

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.
