| Summary |
"In Everything else is bric-a-brac, Akiko Busch offers reflections on the nature of home. Beautifully illustrated by Aurore de la Morinerie, these sixty short prose pieces explore place, memory, and the ambiguities of domestic life. At once thought-provoking, humorous, and meditative, they illuminate the emotional resonance of inanimate things; ideas of placement and displacement; the simultaneous frailty and tenacity of human recollection; the beauty of usefulness and uselessness alike; and how we do--and don't--find our place in things."
