Advance praise for CLUTTER: AN UNTIDY HISTORY

June 23, 2020

My book goes off to the printer today, which means it’s now out of my hands. w00t! And I have some nice advance praise to share:

“Jennifer Howard has written a brilliant and beautiful meditation on the nature of our attachment to things. Reading Clutter made me long for a life without clutter.”
—Malcolm Gladwell, New York Times bestselling author and host of the “Revisionist History” podcast

“In Clutter, Jennifer Howard offers a fascinating and insightful account of what becomes of the stuff that we accumulate in our homes and lives. It’s a powerful reminder of how the deeply personal acts of daily life are shared across families, cultures, economies, and countries, and a moving account of how one author’s struggle to manage her family’s clutter led to a deeper understanding of what matters most in all of our lives.”
—Adam Minter, author of Junkyard Planet: Travels in the Billion-Dollar Trash Trade and Secondhand: Travels in the New Global Garage Sale
