Description

The world is full of things which might be connected with a story, or they might not, like: old postcards, theater programs, greeting cards, photo albums, holiday brochures, instruction booklets, maps, catalogs, railway timetables, menus -- all kinds of things that once served a real & useful purpose but have now become cut adrift from the things & the people they relate to. All these old bits & pieces have a history & a meaning. Dr. Mary Malone would have been familiar with that sort of story in the course of her search for dark matter. But it might not have occurred to her, for ex., when she sent a postcard to an old friend shortly after arriving in Oxford for the first time, that the card itself would trace part of a story that hadn’t yet happened when she wrote it. Illus.
