How does boredom change as we age, and what moves us from inertia to action? Does being a woman in middle age require magical thinking?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShifting between autotheory, memoir, and shrewd literary and cultural analysis, acclaimed essayist Erin Wunker wades into the thick of these questions. Memories of unbelonging are given meaning alongside insights about the fashion statements of iconoclastic women artists, while the boredom of childhood summers is held in tension with the contradictory experiences of monotonous caregiving and intense love for one's child. Using her own experiences as a springboard, Wunker gives voice to the friction between the anxieties and hopes that come with being alive in a hyper-mediated, ever-demanding world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erin Wunker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1998336336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781998336333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Assembly Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Erin Wunker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623571304703,"sku":"9781998336333","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/all-the-waking-hours-erin-wunker-9781998336333","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
