Alaena's Feathers: Mona Cholet, “At Home, An Odyssey of Domestic Space” .
Is home a place of chilly retreat where we slump in front of the television in shapeless pajamas? Certainly. But also, in a harsh and disoriented era, a base where we can protect ourselves, regain our strength, and remember our desires. In the ardor we put into snuggling up at home or dreaming of the ideal home, what remains of our vitality and faith in the future is expressed.
This book is meant to convey the wisdom of unfairly maligned homebodies. But it also explores how the world we thought we were escaping is coming back through the window. Difficulties finding affordable housing, or enjoying our homes in our current state of "time starvation." Fascinating ramifications of the simple question "Who does the housework?" The persistence of the model of family happiness, even as we encounter far more inventive ways of living...
So many concerns, both intimate and collective, reviewed here as one would tidy and clean a dusty interior: to try to see more clearly and feel better.
