Summary:

"Whether in the street or the microcosm of the home, the life of things conjoins human subjects and inanimate objects. Engaging a great range of American literature--from Harriet Beecher Stowe and Edith Wharton to Vladimir Nabokov and Jonathan Franzen--the book illuminates scenes of animation that disclose the aesthetic, affective, and ethical dimensions of our entanglement with the material world."--Publishers website.
