Résumé
This is a book about ownership. It begins with an essay about being given a man&’s furniture while he&’s on trial for murder and follows with essays that question corporeal, familial, and intellectual forms of ownership. What does it mean… to believe that a hand, or a child, or a country, or a story belongs to you? What happens if you realize you&’re wrong? Mining her own life and those of others, Sarah Viren considers the contingencies of ownership alongside the realities of loss in this debut essay collection.
