In one story, an artist discovers an uncanny ability to transform modern sculptures into priceless ancient treasures. In another, a teenager experiences visions of other peoples pasts while vandalizing their abandoned houses. In a third, a grieving couple returns again and again to the beach where their son disappeared, pulling plastic bottles, fishing nets, buoys, and other bits of beach trash from the surf as if those random bits of wreckage were the untranslated hieroglyphs of some secret language that might help them understand their loss. Harveywhose work Dave Eggers called ludicrously unputdownabledelivers a constellation of stories that explore the gravitational pull of material things: how they drift into and out of our hands, how they assume new meanings, and the ways they serve as conduits between the present and past, the everyday and incomprehensible. Most of all, he explores how these objects have the power to reveal strange and moving facets of the human condition.</p>...4805166The Registry of Forgotten Objects339471https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-registry-of-forgotten-objects-9780814283608/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4619627/image.jpg?v=638573126517330000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249780814283608_W3siaWQiOiIxNjdhNzI5ZS0xYWM5LTQ5M2UtOTg5Yi0xM2M2MDBmMDFiZWQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1OSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjEyOSwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjozMzAsImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI0LTEyLTAxVDAwOjAwOjAwWiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9XQ==9780814283608_<p>In this haunting debut collection, best-selling author Miles Harvey probes the mysterious relationship between human longings and the secret lives of inanimate objects.
