The Museum of Craven Life

(As on cover image)
This dreamlike but sharply observed tour of ten museums – real and imagined – deploys a range of poetic styles and images to explore the ways humanity looks at itself.

How hard is it to tell the difference between a thriving marriage and a collapsing one? Why do people curate themselves out of living fully as themselves?
