No Such Thing as Monday | from the Booker Prize-Longlisted Author of Pearl

Description

No Such Thing as Monday is a profound meditation on how we experience time in contemporary society. Drawing from philosophy, psychology, and personal observation, Sian Hughes examines the artificial constructs we’ve built around work and productivity.

Hughes challenges the Monday-to-Friday framework that dominates modern existence, questioning whether this division of time truly serves us or merely constrains our potential. Through engaging essays and reflective narratives, the author explores how we can reclaim autonomy over our temporal experience and reimagine our relationship with work, rest, and meaning.

This is a timely work for anyone feeling trapped by conventional schedules and seeking a more intentional approach to living. Combining intellectual rigor with accessible prose, Hughes offers both critique and possibility for a more humanized way of structuring our lives.
