So Many Ways to Sleep Badly, Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore

So Many Ways to Sleep Badly is about struggling to find hope in the ruins of everyday San Francisco — battling roaches, bikram yoga, chronically bad sex, NPR, internet cruising, tweakers, the cops, $100 bills, chronic pain, the gay vote, vegan restaurants, and incest, with the help of air-raid sirens, herbal medicine, late-night epiphanies, sea lions, and sleeping pills. So Many Ways to Sleep Badly unveils a gender-bending queer world where nothing flows smoothly, except for those sudden moments when everything becomes lighter or brighter or easier to imagine.
