Pinch Me : Trying to Feel Real in the 21st Century

This is a book about how it feels to exist. About the
moments we come off autopilot and engage fully with the
world around us. The fleeting moments in which our minds
and bodies connect totally to one another and to our
environment.

Intimate, impassioned and full of humour, PINCH ME
follows art historian Francesca Ramsay's far-reaching
journey in search of answers to one of life's most complex
and essential questions: What does it mean to feel real?

Tackling this ancient subject through a contemporary
lens, PINCH ME is a raw, lyrical reflection on finding
connection with oneself, one another and the modern
world. Ramsay investigates what it is to experience reality,
the reasons so many of us are feeling the lack of it today,
and crucially, how we might be able to get it back.
