Showing how museum practices shed new light on literary form. How and why do books deploy objects in order to narrate the past? To answer this question, Emma Bond sifts through collections of objects stored in boxes, drawers, baskets, and displayed on shelves in contemporary texts and interprets them using a framework of museum practices.
