I read this book when it came out in 2019, and I took my time with it in a way I usually don’t when reading. I remember reading it in the grass next to a soccer field, contemplating the purpose of art and the social perception of labor. If you too feel overwhelmed by the pressure to overconsume and perform for invisible audiences, I think reading this book will feel a bit like taking a nap… in a good way.
