Un malestar indefinido
un año sin dormir
Harvey, Samantha
One day -or rather one night- the writer Samantha Harvey suffers from insomnia. An insomnia that is becoming so insidious and persistent that it threatens her mental and physical health. Eternal sleepless nights, days in a semi-catatonic state due to lack of rest. The trigger is, apparently, a change of address (in the new one there is more noise), but the causes may be deeper. The author consults therapists and doctors who treat her with some indifference, tries pills, herbal teas, meditation, relaxation techniques... This kind of diary of an insomniac recounts the relationship of a woman with the tormenting lack of sleep . But it goes much further. Those sleepless nights, that altered state in which the writer lives, lead her to reflect on life and death, human behavior, memory, language, creativity... And also to explore her own life and his past, which gives rise to episodes that are perfect and bleak short stories.
