      Details
      “An exhilarating tour of apathy, restlessness, torpor, depression, paralysis and the places in between” (Stacy Schiff, author of The Witches), Mary Mann’s Yawn: Adventures in Boredom is an incisive and often hilarious story of one of our most interesting cultural phenomena: boredom. With sharp wit and impressive historical acumen, Mary Mann tells the unexpected story of the hunt for a deeper understanding of boredom, in all its absurd, irritating, and inspiring splendor. Deftly wrought from interviews, research, and personal experience, Yawn follows Mann’s search through history for the truth about boredom, spanning the globe and introducing a varied cast of characters. We meet the Desert Fathers, fourth-century Christian monks who made their homes far from civilization and who offer the first recorded accounts of lethargy; Thomas Cook, grandfather of the tourism industry, who provided escape from the mundane for England’s working class; modern couples who are disenchanted by monogamous sex, deployed soldiers who seek entertainment and connection in porn; and prisoners held in solitary confinement, for whom boredom is a punishment.

      The book, Yawn: Adventures in Boredom [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN# 9780374535841 in Paperback by Mary Mann may be ordered in bulk quantities. Minimum starts at 25 copies. Availability based on publisher status and quantity being ordered.
