Description
A few months after two of his parents had died, Martin Rowson had a dream about the house he grew up in which was crammed with tons and tons of stuff, both physical and emotional. In this book Rowson delves into all that ‘stuff’; weaving together dreams, family anecdotes and gossip, jokes, advice, history, smells, sounds and sights of the past. The result is a funny, thought-provoking and ultimately moving meditation on families, life, love, disease and the existentialist horrors of clearing out the attic.

Martin Roswson's Stuff may actually be a work of genius… what really astonishes is the strange, robust gravity of the style, combined with an effortless talent for scenic arrangement that manages to fit innumerable disparate incidents into a wholly original shape… a genuinely mature work of commemoration and love, one always attentive to the nuance and texture of things |
|
| Other text | Absorbing and vivid…. the best and most touching element of Stuff is that, unlike so many memoirs concerning parents, it emphatically delivers… It is a lively and entertaining book, yet its earnest concern, in the end, is to examine what truly remains of the dead we have loved, and to face up to all the sorting |
