Whether you're a night owl or just bored by counting sheep, Soft Skull Press' Awake! A Reader for the Sleepless is the perfect nocturnal companion. Editor Steven Lee Beeber (author of The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB's) brings together writings that touch on the experience of insomnia in a comprehensive anthology of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, comics, and cartoons by 52 contributors (including Joyce Carol Oates and John Sayles). Tonight's book launch features a multimedia presentation by blogger Ed Champion, a scientific look at sleep with molecular biologist Molly Kotteman, and a reading by author and performer Jonathan Ames. Naturally, caffeinated beverages are included.
