RaveOn The Sea WallMarina Benjamin sets out in Insomnia to query her own sleepless condition from multiple perspectives: mythic, scientific, historic and literary, but most notably through personal experience ... As the book unfolds, Benjamin weaves together insomnia’s origins and implications. Drawing from various disciplines, she traces insomnia’s roots in myth to contemporary psychology ... Insomnia is ultimately a book about the contradictions that permeate our natures. Having enjoyed it and been edified, I will look differently upon a sleepless night and will invite the light that stubbornly refuses to diminish while illuminating the darkness.
