Apie šią el. knygą
“A treasury of trash, a wonderfully weird collection . . . a fascinating glimpse into the wackier depths of America’s collective subconscious.” —The Washington Post
Discarded valentines. Ransom notes. To-do lists. Diaries. Homework assignments. A break-up letter written on the back of an airsickness bag. Whether they are found on buses, at stores, in restaurants, waiting rooms, parking lots, or even prison yards, these items give readers an uncensored, poignant, and often hilarious peek into other people’s lives. By collecting them in his hit magazine, Found (and its companion website), Davy Rothbart has bewitched the nation with a surprising window into its heart and soul and turned his many readers into an army of sharp-eyed finders.
Found is chock-full of the latest and greatest of these finds, arranged in the style of the magazine, laying bare the tantalizing tales to be discovered in the trash we toss. By turns heartbreaking and hysterically funny, Found is a mesmerizing tribute to everyday life and our eternal curiosity about our fellow human beings.
“The extreme pleasure this brings is really hard to explain, and the more we try to analyze it, the more troubling our enjoyment might become.” —Dave Eggers, bestselling author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
“A fascinating and compelling collection that will break your heart.” —David Sedaris, bestselling author of Happy-Go-Lucky
“I love Found!” —Drew Barrymore
