- Summary:
- Since being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, Rusty's life is consumed by inactivity. She used to be a writer and political activist, but overwhelmed by the fatigue of her illness, the lethargy of political disillusion, and self-pity, she now lives within the two ends of sleep: waking up, and dozing off.
- Two Ends of Sleep charts her clear-eyed observations of the world around her, the depths of her passivity and the beginning of her idiosyncratic journey back. True, Rusty is cynical and sarcastic, but she is also determined to cope with her diagnosis on her own terms. Wildly inventive sexual fantasies and complicated lesbian entanglements are part of the remedy.
- Simultaneously funny and serious, Two Ends of Sleep is a cleverly appealing and unsentimental narrative.
