Quick Fire – a slender but densely-packed volume of 23 poems over 58 pages – begins (as its title demands) with fire (the National Museum of Brazil fire of 2018) and ends with the poet’s ‘I’, awoken by gunshots in Medellín, Columbia and “listening for echo and fire”. In between, Ayachi roams her home city of Edinburgh and points afar – a small library of Rough Guide-worthy destinations get a mention from Beirut to San Fransisco, St Ives to Toulouse and Panama City.

Hello all! It’s been a little while since I’ve written, I know. Around this time last year I joined the National Book Critics Circle Barrios Book in Translation prize longlist committee and began reading books in translation like a mad woman, and then last fall I ran for the NBCC board and won a seat, and now I’m reading even more books like a mad woman.

Early in the coronavirus pandemic—not long after public-health experts began coining terms such as coronasomnia to describe one of the side effects of the growing crisis—hotels began embracing a new genre of travel. The “sleep retreat” was novel neither in concept (it sold hotels as places to rest) nor in practice (the promised slumber inducements included plush bedding, meditation aids, and pillow sprays). Its innovation, instead, was in messaging.

Sleepless by Marie Darrieussecq, translated from the French by Penny Hueston, Semiotext(e), 2023While writing this review, I began making a list of everything I’ve tried in my attempts to fall asleep. The first was reading, which didn’t help me fall asleep at all (though not sleeping has helped immensely with reading).

Marie Darrieussecq’s new memoir, Sleepless unearths the history and literature of insomnia’s sufferersI want to say, right up front, that I sleep easily and deeply, which according to the philosopher Emil Cioran, who is cited in the opening pages of this by-turns breezy and harrowing account of the insomniac’s immiserated nights and ghostly days, disqualifies me for any comprehension of ‘the most profound experience one can have in life’.
