A Catalog of What Remains - Finding Meaning in the Things We Keep

Summary

This is not a story of grand adventures or life-altering events. It is a quiet, intimate exploration of the debris left in the wake of a life lived. Through a series of meditative essays, a narrator sifts through the mundane objects that fill a home: a chipped coffee mug, a forgotten photograph, a broken watch, a rust-stained garden hose. Each artifact, seemingly useless, becomes a portal to a memory, a feeling, a moment of quiet failure or forgotten joy.
 
A Catalog of What Remains is an unflinching look at the geography of our daily lives. It is a book for anyone who has ever found profound meaning in a useless object, who has felt the weight of the past in the clutter of the present, and who suspects that the real story is not in the grand narrative, but in the small, persistent, and often broken things we leave behind. It is an honest inventory of the mess and beauty of an ordinary existence.
