Contributors include: Cheryl Strayed, Melinda Gates, Tony La Russa,
Joss Whedon, Tim O'Brien, Ta-Nehisi Coates, James Patterson, Mark
Cuban, Hasan Minhaj, Daniel Libeskind, and many more! Everyone has
that one object that holds deep meaning--some relic that speaks to
our past, that carries a remarkable story. What We Keep will reveal
the secret lives of objects--and the small, emotional moments we
keep from the world but that make us who we are. For example, why
would Joss Whedon keep a straw boater hat on his bedroom wall? Or
how did a "hideously beautiful" vintage Chanel blazer change the
life of one Austin, Texas woman? The objects and stories come from
a sweeping range of experiences and demographics--from famous
entrepreneurs (Mark Cuban), award-winning writers (Ta-Nehisi
Coates, Tim O'Brien), and cultural icons to hairdressers,
dishwashers, and dog-walkers. Each story will appear in the form of
an "as told to" along with a photo of the object, allowing the
reader to see the nicks and scuffs on a locket, a playing card, a
pocket knife. Of the countless objects we come across over the
course of our lifetime, the objects we keep say a lot about us.
What We Keep will provide an intriguing glimpse into the private
worlds of various people, and will lead us to question our own
treasured things. Amidst the dueling trends of decluttering and
over-consumption, this collection is a breath of fresh air, leading
us to question what we truly value.
