Awareness Daze

Résumé du livre

National Wash Your Nose Day, Feeding Tube Awareness Week, Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day... On January 1, 2022, Dan Brotzel decided to observe a different awareness day every day for a whole year.He had no idea what he was letting himself in for.Dressing up as a gorilla then a daffodil, growing a 'tash (sort of), eating fish fingers with custard, working for a food bank and signing up for a marathon, Dan both learned a lot and amassed a huge collection of wristbands.He met fascinating people: a town crier, a hermit, a man born intersex, a stationery fetishist. Some people were facing life-changing challenges while others were movers and shakers in the strange world of made-up holidays.As the days passed, he wondered what it all meant, in a world where World Lymphoma Awareness Day clashes with National Double Cheeseburger Day.By turns touching, funny and thought-provoking, Awareness Daze is a unique reflection on the days of our lives and the ways we choose to fill them.
