Rob Walker and Joshua Glenn like to sift through the detritus of thrift stores and rummage sales. They’re looking, specifically, for worthless items — a Fred Flintstone Pez dispenser, a ceramic cow-shaped creamer — which they purchase for pocket change. They then commission a noteworthy writer (such as Luc Sante or Kurt Andersen or Mark Frauenfelder) to craft a fictional story that prominently features a given trinket, or, as they call it, “nothing object.” Once someone writes a fictional story about the nothing object, it becomes, as if by magic (or metaphysics), a significant object, and is sold on eBay along with a copy of its story — to the author go the profits. So far, Significant Objects is an incredibly fun, if curious, success, one that toys with the disparity between an object’s financial and emotional values, and speaks to our wonderfully human propensity to believe in nonsense.
Significant Objects: Proof that storytelling can be lucrative.
