The household, the home: one might think there is not much to say on this. Yet our household is also our support base, the place we can feel safe, reengergized, remember what is important and resist feeling scattered or lost. The author of Beauté fatale explores the theme of “home” in a new essay by touching on a few of our most immediate concerns. These concerns are inextricably both intimate and part of the collective human experience.
