In How to Change History Robin Hemley grapples with the individual\u2019s navigation of history and the conflict between personal and public histories. In an attempt to restore, resurrect, and reclaim what might otherwise be lost, Hemley meditates and speculates on photography, scrapbooks, historical markers, travelogues, TV shows, real estate come-ons, washed up rock stars, incontinent dachshunds, stalkers, skeletons in the closet, and literature. He also examines his parents\u2019 lives as writers, documenting their under-seen influence on the art movements of the day.\n In one essay, he writes about his mother\u2019s first cousin, Roy, a survivor of Pearl Harbor whose troubled daughter murdered him. The essay \u201CJim\u2019s Corner\u201D examines the notion of memorial plaques and how they often highlight erasure\n\nHow to Change History\nA Salvage Project\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\;
