Thanks to the Virginia Festival of the Book for inviting me to talk about CLUTTER: AN UNTIDY HISTORY with my good friend Meredith Hindley as part of the festival’s excellent “Shelf Life” series.
On January 12, Jennifer Howard discussed her book, Clutter: An Untidy History, an expansive assessment of our relationship to the things that share and shape our lives, in conversation with Meredith Hindley. Howard sets her own personal struggle with clutter against a meticulously researched history of just how the developed world came to drown in material goods.
