Book synopsis
A derelict antiques and scrap metal business in Owls Head, Maine is the setting of this multi-layered word-portrait of its owner, William Buckminster, proprietor of an extraordinary collection of discarded and decaying items, no-longer-functioning remnants of previous lives. Buckminster's world, which includes both his vaunted talents in the local pool halls and his sure knowledge of the seemingly endless number of fascinating objects from his vast supply, are inspiration for Purcell's carefully crafted meditation on collecting and entropy, and the signals both send to those who are willing to pay attention. Rosamond Purcell is a photographer best known for her work in the back rooms of natural history museums.
