PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Alice Bennett is Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Liverpool Hope University, UK. She is the author of Contemporary Fictions of Attention (2018).
By revealing the uncanny ubiquity of alarms in our daily life, by making us smile about their profound ambivalence, Alice Bennett has written a pleasurable and soothing book. From burglary to belatedness, from house fires to climate change, this exemplary collaboration between literary studies and the social sciences sheds a reflexive, nuanced and joyful light on our darker anxieties. A most accessible, elegant and important lesson in attention ecology. * Yves Citton, Professor in Literature and Media, University Paris 8, France, and author of The Ecology of Attention *
