William Davies King, on the other hand, has devoted decades to collecting nothing-and a lot of it. With Collections of Nothing, he takes a hard look at this habitual hoarding to see what truths it can reveal about the impulse to accumulate. Part memoir, part reflection on the mania of acquisition, Collections of Nothing begins with the stamp collection that King was given as a boy.Collectors and collectingUnited StatesBiographyCollectors and collectingUnited StatesCollectors and collectingPsychological aspectsCollectors and collectingMiscellaneacollecting, collectors, hoarding, accumulation, consumption, material culture, memoir, biography, autobiography, acquisition, stamps, psychology, minimalism, detritus, miscellanea, loneliness, materialism, collectibles, curating, freud, hobby, obsession, cereal boxes, drawings, dictionaries, ephemera, objects, worth, value, useless, obsolescence, nonfiction.Collectors and collectingCollectors and collectingCollectors and collectingPsychological aspects.Collectors and collecting790.1/32King W.
