Featured on BBC Radio 4's A Good Read
A profound reflection on language, loss, and time, as well as on how we build ourselves through stories. It's painful. It's beautiful. And I love it.
Samantha Harvey's insomnia seemingly came from nowhere. For a year, she spent her nights chasing sleep that rarely came. She tried everything to calm herself. Nothing helps. What happens when one of the basic human needs goes unmet? For Samantha Harvey, extreme sleep deprivation resulted in a clear and raw understanding of life itself.
Original and profound, The Shapeless Unease is a subversive and enlightening exploration of memory, writing and influence, death and grief, as well as the will to survive.
"It's a delight to read... immeasurably satisfying" - OBSERVER
"It's easily one of the truest and best books I've read about what it means to be alive now, in this country" - MAX PORTER
"How can a book about a sense of deprivation be so feeling and full... it seemed to give my sleep resonance and poetry. What a beautiful book." - TESSA HADLEY
