متن يادداشت

At the Borders of Sleep is a unique exploration of the connections between literature and the liminal states between waking and sleeping. Delving into philosophy as well as literature, Peter Schwenger investigates the threshold between waking and sleeping as an important and productive state between the forced march of rational thought and the oblivion of unconsciousness

متن يادداشت

While examining literary representations of the various states between waking and sleeping, At the Borders of Sleep also analyzes how writers and readers draw on and enter these states. Schwenger reads a wide range of authors for whom the borders of sleep are crucial, including Marcel-Proust, Stephen King, Paul Valéry, Fernando Pessoa, Franz Kafka, Giorgio de Chirico, Virginia Woolf, Philippe Sollers, and Robert Irwin. Considering drowsiness, insomnia, and waking up, he looks at such subjects as the hypnagogic state, the experience of reading and why it is different from full consciousness, the relationships between insomnia and writing and why insomnia is often a source of creative insight, and the persistence of liminal elements in waking thought. Ultimately arguing that both the reading and writing of literature are liminal experiences, taking place on the edges of consciousness, At the Borders of Sleep suggests new ways to think about the nature of literature and consciousness.
