Synopsis

The long-awaited book collection of the acclaimed online literary prose experiment.

SignificantObjects.com, founded by Joshua Glenn and Rob Walker, has published an extraordinary series of 200 stories and counting ― by William Gibson, Curtis Sittenfeld, Sheila Heti, Colson Whitehead, Nicholson Baker, Meg Cabot, Gary Panter, Ben Katchor, Lydia Millet, Jonathan Lethem, and other talented writers ― about ordinary stuff like novelty items, discarded souvenirs, and tasteless kitchenware picked up cheap at thrift stores and yard sales. The goal: To see if commissioning great stories about these insignificant things would increase their value ― as measured in actual eBay auctions. The experiment, in short, was a smash hit, raising money for youth-tutoring organizations. Significant Objects is a hardcover collection of the best one hundred short prose stories, published by Fantagraphics.

Présentation de l'éditeur

An unlikely story that began as an experiment, which was then turned into a literary magazine that raises money for youth tutoring. The group have collected 100 moving, absurd, surprising and always entertaining stories from the project about ordinary, cheap stuff - like tasteless kitchenware. The goal was to see if commissioning great stories about meaningless things would increase their value as measured in ebay auctions.
