Autobiography of a Wardrobe

Review by: Miss Lucy

Narrated by, and from the perspective of, the wardrobe (the clothing, not the piece of furniture), this book is the fictional biography of its owner, Body, aka B. Although the premise sounds intriguing, the book did not work for me. The wardrobe seemed to be some nebulous entity above and separate from the actual pieces of clothing worn by B. And despite the ever-changing oft-Bohemian international and New York City lifestyles, I was never drawn into the life of B., nor did I care about her. To me, this book was more of a commentary on the importance, and lack thereof, of clothing and fashion during different parts of B.'s life.
