Bloomsbury presents Noticing by Ziyad Marar, read by Silas Carson What does it mean to 'notice' something? To really see it. In his exhilarating quest to help us notice better, Ziyad Marar poses a deceptively simple question: 'what are you good at noticing?' In the process of 'noticing what we notice' we re-attune to questions of perception, orientation, and above all, attention: How do we walk the wrong way down the street without being aware of it? What is happening in us when our eyes pass unseeing over a familiar face in a crowded restaurant?

To my horror, my father agrees, locking me into a contract written entirely on Einar's terms—and with no expiration date.
