important artefacts and personal property

(Simultaneously a nightmare, dream and bellowing declaration of intent.) (The silent prayer murmured throughout most doomed relationships.) PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, LET ME GET WHAT I WANT - The Smiths I've organized them loosely into Side A (the Beginning) and Side B (the End). Some pin the themes of love and heartbreak so perfectly they should probably have been listed in my acknowledgments. While a few songs in this soundtrack are taken from music mentioned in the book, others are songs I listened to while shooting, writing and organizing the story. But really, during the rose-tinted first three months, the beloved can pretty much do no wrong, all is forgiven and any bad moves pronounced 'adorable.' Always a tricky thing: setting forth ardor and intention without coming across like a sap, show-off or maniac. Like many couples, Hal and Lenore exchange mixed cd's early on in their courtship. In her own words, here is Leanne Shapton's Book Notes essay for her novel, Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry: Reading as much like a graphic novel as a puzzle, the book tells its story through photographs and item descriptions in a surprisingly readable and innovative fashion. Wonderfully inventive, Leanne Shapton's Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry captures the relationship trajectory of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris through an auction catalog of their belongings.

In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published books.
