Fatigue Artist — Lynne Sharon Schwartz

The Fatigue Artist is a refreshingly candid story
about life, love, and survival in the contemporary
world. A writer living in New York City, Laura is
overwhelmed by a mysterious lethargy and retreats
to her bed where she reflects on the loves and losses
of her recent past and seeks the cure to her perplexing
tiredness.

Fortified by the Eastern teachings of her Tai Chi
instructor and the nurturing attentions of friends
and a acupuncturist, Laura crawls out of her
somnambulism with intelligent determination in search
of peace and resurrection. The Fatigue Artist is
both a moving chronicle of a woman's search for
meaning and a wry depiction of modern urban life.
