One piece uses her father's hi-fi as a way of talking about jazz, race, and the life of the artist, while another (previously published in the New England Review) zooms in on an antique mourning miniature to tell the story of her mother's final days. The book combines family lore, memories of growing up in the home of two antiques dealers, and an assessment of the narrator's literary and cultural influences as a white woman growing up in the late- twentieth century South. Organized as a series of essays exploring the things her parents left behind, The Sum of Trifles traces Smith's experience of loss as her elderly parents' health declines and they die, leaving the narrator and her family with the task of sorting, donating, and finally selling the contents of their home"-- |cProvided by publisher. 588 Description based on CIP data; resource not viewed. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Smith, Julia Ridley.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /no2011004426 600 10 Smith, Julia Ridley|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2011004426|xFamily.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00005743 650 0 Adult children of aging parents|xFamily relationships |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009113745 |zNorth Carolina.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79007042-781 650 0 Parents|xDeath|xPsychological aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh2008108916 650 0 Women college teachers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85147503|zNorth Carolina|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79007042-781|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Antique dealers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85005745|zNorth Carolina|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n79007042-781|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Antiques|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85005746|zNorth Carolina|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n79007042-781|xPsychological aspects.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002011485 650 0 Personal belongings|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85100103|zNorth Carolina|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79007042-781|xPsychological aspects. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002011485 650 0 Material culture|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85082061|zNorth Carolina.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79007042-781 650 7 Adult children of aging parents|xFamily relationships. |2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/797239 650 7 Parents|xDeath|xPsychological aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1053459 650 7 Women college teachers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1177488 650 7 Antique dealers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 810716 650 7 Antiques.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/810720 650 7 Psychological aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1354086 650 7 Personal belongings.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1058568 650 7 Material culture.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1011739 650 7 Antiques|xPsychological aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/810732 650 7 Families.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1728849 650 7 Biography & non-fiction prose.|2thema 650 7 Society & culture: general.|2thema 650 7 Sociology: death & dying.|2thema 650 7 Memoirs.|2thema 650 7 Coping with death & bereavement.|2thema 650 7 Family & relationships: advice & issues.|2thema 650 7 Biography.|2ukslc 651 7 North Carolina.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1204304 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026047 655 7 Autobiographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919894 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9780820360416 830 0 Crux (Athens, Ga.)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2016072441 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=3199482|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
