“My nightmares will have to make do without me” Theresia Enzensberger and Şeyda Kurt on Sleeping
Author Theresia Enzensberger (“At Sea”) can’t sleep. She is not the only one: Sleep problems have become a mass phenomenon in our civilization. So what is a sleepless person to do? Write a vibrantly alert essay! Following the stages of sleep, Enzensberger takes her readers on a philosophical ramble through the night. Her multilayered essay Sleeping begins in the tooth-grinding, light sleep phase with her observations of society. As she moves into the deep sleep phase, her writing becomes more private and inward. Finally the book reaches the REM stage, where Enzensberger departs from the tangible in favor of a nightmarish story.
With author and presenter Şeyda Kurt (“Radical Tenderness”), she discusses sleep and the loss of control, dream as a political metaphor and forms of artistic presentation.
