At the Edges of Sleep – Moving Images and Somnolent Spectators

"At the Edges of Sleep is an exceptionally strong piece of scholarship. It is intellectually ambitious, erudite across a number of fields, poetically written yet lucid, and both historically informed and deeply attuned to our own moment."--Karen Redrobe, author of Crash: Cinema and the Politics of Speed and Stasis

"Wow. This book is a unique sensational performance as Jean Ma unpacks the aesthetic and possibilities for sleep as a critical practice in contemporary moving image culture. It's downright groundbreaking in its far-ranging and far-reaching insights."--Dana Polan, Cinema Studies, New York University
