Things by Bill Brown

Things by Bill Brown

This book is an invitation to think about why children chew pencils; why we talk to our cars, our refrigerators, our computers; rosary beads and worry beads; Cuban cigars; why we no longer wear hats that we can tip to one another and why we don't seem to long to; and what has been described as bourgcois longing.

Bill Brown is professor of English at the University of Chicago, coeditor of Critical Inquiry, and author of A Sense of Things: The Object Matter of American Literature, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
