Publisher Description:
Armed only with his poetic sensibility, Petr Kr l sets out to explore our relationship with the places that we inhabit, and with the apparently unremarkable everyday objects which often inform and enrich our lives.
Kr l bears witness to Flaubert's observation that in order for something to become interesting, we simply have to look at it for a long time. He reveals, not only the inner life--the very essence--of mundane objects and places, but also simple yet profound truths about ourselves.
