This book could have been called
The Contemporary Condition of Sleeping and Reading in the Heart of (and in Spite of) the Logosphere and Various Media Streams, but frankly,
I Cant Sleep sounds better, plus its true.Lionel Ruffel
The diaristic form of
I Can''t Sleep is an attempt to feel and investigate the quality of time, making reference to Jonathan Crary, Bernard Stiegler, Yves Citton, Paul BPreciado, Charles Baudelaire, and above all Walter Benjamin. Written in a style that borrows not from classical forms of theory or prose, but operates in between fiction and nonfiction to investigate the very concept of the contemporary,
I Can''t Sleep uses a quite old but often renewed methodin this sense a very contemporary oneconsisting of starting from ones own personal situation.
