THE WAY WE ARE, is a collection of witty and insightful essays, in which the author, Margaret Visser, dissects the who's, the whats, and the wherefores of the way we live.
In THE WAY WE ARE, Margaret Visser, a self-described "anthropologist of everyday life," identifies and dissects how we live. Tapping in to our fascination with our own origins, eccentricities, and foibles, she makes ordinary objects - like restaurant menus and bathing suits - and typical habits - like showering or forgetting someone's name - yield up what they have to tell us about the way we are and how we became this way.Β
