Description

Living Rooms by Sam Johnson-Schlee invites readers to consider the complex relationship between our homes and the societies we live in. Through an exploration of everyday household objects, the book offers a radical vision for reimagining the home as a space that nurtures life rather than prioritizing financial value. Johnson-Schlee's work blends history, memoir, theory, and cultural critique to examine the ways in which our homes reflect and shape our values. From the colonial history of house plants to the personal memories of summers spent at his grandparents' bungalow, the author offers a nuanced and expansive exploration of what it means to live in a home. By examining the objects that populate our living spaces, Johnson-Schlee poses an important question: how do we unconsciously imagine a different kind of life through the way we furnish and arrange our homes?
