About this book

As an everyday extreme, sleep implies confusing and paradox moments: it is a natural necessity and, at the same time, a distinctly sociocultural practice, fluctuating between a loss of control and therapeutic, regenerative effects. Literature, too, reaches the limits of representability: sleep is a poetological, aesthetic liminal state that – unlike the dream – has largely been overlooked by literary studies.
