Summary
Hodgson's diary of her journeys through the flea markets of Europe, North Africa and North America guides readers down back alleys and into musty shops. We flank Hodgson as she gently fingers trinkets and seashells, sifts through distressed maps, stacks… and unstacks slides and expired passports, all the while conversationally remarking on what this detritus represents - or could represent, given the right context and a bit of back story. c2007.
