Terror, disaster, memory, selfhood, happiness . . . leave it to a poet to tackle the unthinkable so wisely and so wittily.* A literary guide to life in the pre-apocalypse, The Unreality of Memory collects profound and prophetic essays on the Internet age's media-saturated disaster coverage and our addiction to viewing and discussing the world's ills.
We stare at our phones. We keep multiple tabs open. Our chats and conversations are full of the phrase "Did you see?" The feeling that we're living in the worst of times seems to be intensifying, alongside a desire to know precisely how bad things have gotten--and each new catastrophe distracts us from the last. The Unreality of Memory collects provocative, searching essays on disaster culture, climate anxiety, and our mounting collective sense of doom. In this new collection, acclaimed poet and essayist Elisa Gabbert explores our obsessions with disasters past and future, from the sinking of the Titanic to Chernobyl, from witch hunts to the plague. These deeply researched, prophetic meditations question how the world will end--if indeed it will--and why we can't stop fantasizing about it. Can we avoid repeating history? Can we understand our moment from inside the moment? With The Unreality of Memory, Gabbert offers a hauntingly perceptive analysis of our new ways of being and a means of reconciling ourselves to this unreal new world. A work of sheer brilliance, beauty and bravery." *--Andrew Sean Greer, author of LessBinding Type: Paperback

I love it
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray, Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
This pillow case helps keep me cool overnight. It's very comfortable. I've been sleeping on it every night for a long while now. Still holding up.

retty color, but the comfort isn’t there.
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
I only received one pillowcase in my package, which was disappointing since it’s sold as a set of two. I’m also not a fan of this satin material — it runs hot and I end up sticking to it. The color is a pretty metallic silver, but the pillowcase itself feels cheap compared to brands like Kitsch. Overall, this one just isn’t for me.

Smooth Dreams & Frizz-Free Mornings
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
These satin pillowcases are a total luxury upgrade without the silk price tag. The fabric feels buttery-smooth and cool against the skin—perfect for hot sleepers or anyone who loves that “fresh pillow” feeling all night long. I especially love how it helps tame bedhead and keeps my hair from getting tangled or frizzy while I sleep.
The light grey color looks elegant and fits right into any bedroom style, and the envelope closure keeps the pillow snugly in place (no annoying slipping or bunching). They wash beautifully—no fading, pilling, or losing that silky finish.
If you’ve been curious about silk pillowcases but don’t want the maintenance or cost, these satin ones are a perfect alternative. Cooling, soft, and hair-friendly—honestly, they make bedtime feel just a little more glamorous.

Luxurious look and feel
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
These satin pillowcases in silver are so luxurious looking and feeling! I flop around at night and need a pillowcase like this to prevent the rats’ nests that form in my fine hair.
The stitching is even and tight with no loose threads that I could see. The envelope pocket is plenty deep to keep your pillow contained.
I didn’t see any washing instructions but from experience I will give them a quick handwashing in the sink and hang to dry.

Nice Idea, Disappointing Reality
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
I really wanted to love these satin pillowcases, but they fell short. While they look nice at first and feel cool when you lay down, the material is very slippery and constantly slides around during the night. By morning, the pillowcase is usually twisted or halfway off the pillow.
They also feel thinner than expected and don’t hold up well after washing, even on a gentle cycle. For the price, I was hoping for better quality and durability. They might work for occasional use, but they didn’t meet my expectations for everyday sleep.
