Romancing the Barf Bag
I always say that people reveal themselves most intimately through bookshelves and spice racks. For me, barf bags do a lot of metaphoric work, because I am quite literally (with barf bags) keeping what people want to throw away. My story collection revolves around what people throw away – talent, promise, trash, personal history. In any case, if you put someone’s obsessions / collections under a microscope, you almost invariably find the most pressing questions that person (chooses to?) ask his or her self.
