I asked each person to write two or three sentences about their choice that becomes part of the work. This is a very different approach to the stories that link people to these objects than yours. But, it shows how these things seed our memories and, in a way, contribute to our ability to maintain personal attachments to family and friends over time.

Have you never heard of con artists? The entire point of con artistry is to gain confidence and that’s done via a spiel, commonly known as a story, also known as a big fat lie.

Call me funny, but isn’t fraud illegal in NY (Sect. 349, Business Law Statute)? Great to see that NY Times writers are above the law…

I had a relative who when she went anywhere with her husband brought back an object to remember the time they had together. But when he died she would bring things back that we not ‘souvenirs’ in the usual sense, as the items could be anything at all, the centre of a toilet roll or a napkin from a cafe. She would write on the object when and where it came from. Clearly disorded and part of her grief process that went on for 20 years as her house was full literally from floor to ceiling with items such as this!

I always think people are so interesting!

If you want something, then it doesn’t matter what its really worth I guess.
