So Many Ways to Sleep Badly by Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore
“Sycamore kicks mainstream literature in the teeth.”— The San Francisco Bay Guardian Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore's exhilarating novel 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. Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore is the gender-bending author of the highly praised novel Pulling Taffy and the editor of the anthology Nobody Rejecting the Rules of Gender and Conformity . Sycamore writes regularly for a variety of publications, including Bitch , Utne Reader , AlterNet , Make/Shift and MaximumRocknRoll .
