Description:


I want to know what it was like to have crossed into the realm of madness. After all, I did it. I went mad. Why can’t I have the secret knowledge that comes with it?

How do you write a memoir when your memories have been taken? She awakens in hospital, greeted by nurses and patients she doesn’t recognise, but who address her with familiarity. She decides to untangle the clues.

How to Knit a Human is Anna’s quest to find her self and her memory after experiencing psychosis and Electroconvulsive therapy in 2011, at the age of twenty-three. As the memory barriers begin to crumble, Anna weaves her experiences around the gaps of memories that are still not accessible. Anna writes and creates art on her own terms. This book is a reclamation of story and self.

‘How to Knit a Human is a precise and searching memoir that illuminates the fragile balance that can exist between memory and one’s sense of self. The writing reflects superbly on the profound impact of memory loss caused by psychosis and its treatment, and shows us how storytelling can form part of healing through the sharing of experiences and a deeper understanding of them.’ — Kári Gíslason

‘In this wise, wry and moving memoir Anna Jacobson reclaims her self from the institutions that sought to define her. As she asks vital questions about care, memory and inheritance, Jacobson reminds us of the recuperative joy of creative life.’ — Mireille Juchau

‘This book is a revelation. If Leonora Carrington teamed up with Janet Frame you might get something close to the kind, gentle, weird and brutal brilliance

Very soft!
Color: Blue, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
I like the softness of these pillows. They are too bulky for me but my husband loves his. I’ve been using a flat pillow for too long. I may just need to adjust to it.

Color: Blue, Size: Queen Size Set of 2, Color: Blue, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
pillow whore here 🤭 and I very rarely find anything worth writing a 5 star review for but let me just save you the time of searching anymore for the PERFECT pillow!!! BUY THEM! 😍 I promise you will NOT be disappointed!! I have spend thousands on pillows over the years, trying to find the perfect pillows... As someone who suffers from debilitating chronic pain and who has had multiple neck and back surgeries I'm very particular about pillows & have such a hard time finding one's that are comfortable, not too hard, not too soft but also offer great support. I FINALLY found them 🥹 and my hubby is Italian and stays hot but gets even hotter when he sleeps so finding an authentic cooling pillow has seemed impossible UNTIL now!! Just wow!! Now Im adding more to my cart while they are still 70% off 🥳🤩

Loved the pillows
Color: Blue, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
I don’t get paid for reviews so if you want a real one here ya go …. These pillows are great in my opinion. They came vacuum sealed and popped right up “ big and fluffy” immediately, as in big enough I wasn’t sure they would fit in my pillow cases. I used them last night and even though they are full, big and fluffy they still smashed down to a proper size when I laid my head down. First night in a long time I did wake up with a headache. I was extremely happy with these pillows. Now cooling ….I didn’t really find a difference from a reg pillow but, that again just could be me. Hope this helps

Heavenly Sleep Upgrade – DIORIS Pillows Are a Dream Come True!
I’ve finally found the perfect pillows! The DIORIS Queen Pillows Set of 2 has completely transformed my sleep experience. From the moment I laid my head down, I felt like I was at a luxury hotel — but right in my own bedroom! These pillows strike the ideal balance between softness and support. The premium down alternative filling cradles the head and neck gently, yet offers just the right amount of firmness. Whether I sleep on my side, back, or stomach, these pillows adapt perfectly and keep me comfortable all night long. The slow-rebound, breathable fiberfill is a game changer. It stays cool, supports proper posture, and even helps reduce neck pain — something I’ve struggled with for years. I wake up feeling refreshed and ache-free, which is priceless.
