Beskrivelse
We live surrounded by the objects we've acquired - in our everyday lives, as gifts, and during our travels. But why are these objects important to us? Why do we hold on to them? Mainly, for the memories they recall: stories of adventure, connection, friendship, love, and loss. After a 40-year career as a travel journalist, author Jeff Greenwald (Shopping for Buddhas and The Size of the World) tells the tales of 108 of his beloved objects-before letting them go. This beautiful and unusual photo-memoir is divided into six realms-Travel, Gifts, Love, Earth Moon & Stars, Endings, and Spirit-with 18 "flash non-fiction" chapters in each. The total number of objects is 108, a number considered spiritually significant in Hindu and Buddhist cultures (there are also 108 stitches on a baseball). Photography by tribal art dealer Zena Kruzick.
