Summary
"Marjorie Garber ranges through literature, art, film, journalism, criticism, and the hard evidence of everyday experience, and gives us an acute analysis of the ways in which we think about the places we hang our hats. She discusses the House as Beloved, as Mother, as Body. She writes about the Dream House, the Trophy House, the House as History, and the Summer House."--Jacket.
