Really, really enjoyed this thoughtful, funny, moving and personal book on homes, homemaking, the history of different materials and craftsmanship and labour, and what our relationship with our objects tells us about our relationship with each other. This is exactly the sort of essay I love: both deeply personal and considering a wider conversation, both historically informed and contemporary, both funny and seriously compassionate

I’ve been really obsessed with Sam Johnson Schlees substack called Sifting and Sorting recently, it’s about the process of sorting through his slightly estranged dads things after his death (mostly cds and records and notebooks) and he writes about music and its connection to people so beautifully. companion to those passages about pop music in Gaitskill’s Veronica. The way Alison sees the tragedy of her father, someone who tried to use music to express what he couldn’t until he began to think the music was what he was. but it was just stuff.
