Sleep Donation is a literary fiction book by author Karen Russell.
The haunting novel by the author of the strange imagination of the national bestsellers Swamplandia! and Orange World: the story of the deadly disease of insomnia and the time it takes a woman to fight it.

Trish Edgewater is the Slumber Corps’ top recruiter. On the phone, at the specially organized Sleep Drive, even in the supermarket parking lot: Trish can make even the most reluctant healthy dreamer donate sleep to an insomniac in crisis – one out of hundreds of thousands has completely lost the ability to sleep. Sleep. Trish cries, she trembles, she shows potential donors a photo of her deceased sister, Dori: one of the first victims of the deadly insomnia that has swept the globe.

Run by the wealthy and mysterious Storch brothers, the Slumber Corps is at the forefront of the fight against this deadly new disease.

With the brand new “Nightmare Addendum”, Sleep Donation will keep listeners up all night and haunt their dreams for a long time.

In her previous work, Karen Russell has shown that she has an amazingly original and original imagination; This book is no exception. Ironically, the plot is dreamlike and engaging. Most notably, Karen Russell uses words like no other. I find myself re-reading sentences for the pure pleasure of it. Her prose is almost edible. If you want to startle, provoke and transport, don’t hesitate to buy this book.

The power of listening to the story of this Covid-19 pandemic of insomnia is that it reiterates the level of despair and distress that occurs when a basic but integral part of everyday life is cut down. –in stories, it’s sleep, in everyday life, it’s sleep. human contact, intimacy and freedom of movement. I appreciate the heroine’s sharpness as she walks between morality, compassion, brutal capitalism, and her personal experience. The situation and what we are navigating today is much more complex than we admit, and every decision has diverse consequences. Great, thoughtful storytelling.
