Sobre este artículo
At heart this is a travel book, a meandering journey through the vastness, disorder and gentle melancholy of William Buckminster's eleven acres of sundry mutable matter. A derelict antiques and scrap metal business in Owls Head, Maine, is the setting of this portrait of its owner, William Buckminster, proprietor of an extraordinary collection of discarded and decaying items, no-longer-functioning remnants of previous lives. Buckminster's world, which includes both his vaunted talents in the local pool halls and his sure knowledge of the seemingly endless number of fascinating objects from his vast supply, are inspiration for Purcell's carefully crafted meditation on collecting and entropy. Illustrated with photographs
