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.
