\u003cstrong\u003eA collection of 60 short prose pieces by best-selling author and design critic Akiko Busch that reflect, in her classic style of observation, on the human condition and offer insights on family, domestic space, and a changing environment. Beautifully illustrated with 20 pieces of watercolor art, this collection makes an inspirational gift.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr /\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eEverything Else Is Bric-a-Brac,\u003c/em\u003e Akiko Busch explores place, memory, and the ambiguities of domestic life. At once thought-provoking, humorous, and meditative, these essays 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\u0026mdash;and don\u0026#39;t\u0026mdash;find our place in things. |
