DIRTY WOW WOW AND OTHER LOVE STORIES is a celebration of the
lovey, binky, or blankie--known as the "transitional object"
in psychoanalytic terms--that eased us through the
uncertainties and loneliness of childhood. Bundles of
comfort and security fashioned from fluff and fur, these
treasured friends have a lifetime of stories sewn up in
their tattered bodies: a trip to Paris smushed up in a
suitcase, a new home behind the family liquor cabinet, an
interminable wait in the lost-and-found bin. With stunning
photographs that reveal the personalities within, DIRTY WOW
WOW is at once humorous, wistful, and oddly comforting--like
a shabby childhood favorite who's tucked away but never
forgotten.
