**From the author of the New York Times bestseller Swamplandia!, and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, an imaginative and haunting novella about an insomnia epidemic set in the near future.
A crisis has swept America. Hundreds of thousands have lost the ability to sleep. Enter the Slumber Corps, an organization that urges healthy dreamers to donate sleep to an insomniac. Under the wealthy and enigmatic Storch brothers the Corps' reach has grown, with outposts in every major US city.
Sleep Donation explores a world facing the end of sleep as we know it, where "Night Worlds" offer black market remedies to the desperate and sleep deprived, and where even the act of making a gift is not as simple as it appears.**
Why didn't I think of this? All these years of trying different things to cure insomnia and all I had to do was create a black market sleep ring. I think I'll get started on that right away. Anyone willing to donate sleep-let me know:)
(I think I'm going to buy this novella-get some good ideas. Maybe there's also a "Sleep on the Black Market for Dummies" I can get on Amazon while I'm at it.)
