Is it possible for books to dream? For books to dream within books? Is there a literary subterranea that would facilitate ingress and exit points through these dreams? These are some of the questions posed by David Keenan's masterly fifth novel, Monument Maker, an epic romance of eternal summer and a descent, into history, into the horrors of the past; a novel with a sweep and range that runs from the siege of Khartoum and the conquest of Africa in the 19th century through the Second World War and up to the present day, where the memory of a single summer, and a love affair that took place across the cathedrals of Ile de France, unravels, as a secret initiatory cult is uncovered that has its roots in macabre experiments in cryptozoology in pre-war Europe. MONUMENT MAKER straddles genres while fully embracing none of them, a book within a book within a book that runs from hallucinatory historical epics through future-visioned histories of the world narrated by a horribly disfigured British soldier made prophetic by depths of suffering; books that interact with Keenan's earlier novels, including a return to the mythical post-punk Airdrie landscape of his now classic debut, THIS IS MEMORIAL DEVICE; whole histories of art and religion; books that are glorious choral appendices; bibliographies; imagined films; tape recorded interviews; building to a jubilant accumulation of registers, voices and rhythms that is truly Choral. Written over the course of 10 years, MONUMENT MAKER represents the apex of Keenan's project to create books that contain uncanny life and feel like living organisms. It is a meditation on art and religion, and on what it means to make monument; this great longing for something eternal, something that could fix moments in time, forever.,

Decent bar cart, but very annoying assembly
Color: Marble White, Size: 13"D x 23.7"W x 32.7"H
I think it looks nice and is decent value, but this thing is a pain to put together. Instead of just sending 3 shelves, you get 6 pieces to connect together to make 3 shelves. On top of that - they don’t even really connect. It would be 1000x easier if they added a couple of wooden pegs to connect the 2 pieces together. Instead, you have to do a balancing act which is tedious as can be. I ended up super glueing 2 of the 3 shelves togethers after how annoying the first was, so I would highly recommend you do the same. The whole process of putting it together feels like a balancing act. For something so small, it’s about as annoying as possible to put together. Nearly every step requires you to balance something and screw it in. Most of this would be alleviated if, as I said, it was just 3 pieces for the shelves instead of 6. But, you get what you pay for. Overall, I can’t complain too much for the price and result, but I wasn’t a fan of building it. It’d also look a little nicer if each shelf didn’t have a crack going through it.

Very pretty
Color: Black, Color: Black
This sink caddy is very pretty. It is easy to use. It has slots for brushes and whatnot. Keep in mind that not all soap bottles will fit in it though. I had to adjust my soap bottle to fit, so it kind of took up space where I could have put a little more things that same space. If you have round sponges like the ones I have, they can fit where you put the soap dispenser. It just all depends on what size soap dispenser you have in there. The quality has been good so far. It's easy to clean the bottom of the tray. It simply just slides in and out. Very easy. I recommend this.

Just perfect!

Exactly what I was looking for. Room for many cleaning tools and soap. Keeps clean and dry the top of the sink. Beautiful style and sturdy.

Great for those who have little to practically no counter space
Color: Black
For such a small item, it holds a lot. It holds my regular scrub brush, my cast iron scrub brush, my green scour pad...two of them, my dish cloth any my nylon scrubber. It takes up little room, but keeps the sink area from looking so cluttered Update. While the body of this unit is still in great shape, the bottom has rusted so bad it broke. I will be buying a different caddy.

Beautiful, but not as durable as expected
Color: Black
We’ve been using this soap holder for about a year and while it is functional and fits our space nicely, it’s starting to rust. I’m a little disappointed that a product designed to hold wet sponges and soap doesn’t have proper coating to prevent rusting. Other than that, I love it. The tray catches runoff and easily rinses off. It home all my bottle brushes, two glass soap jars and my sponge. The design is pretty and matches my other kitchen products.
