Particles of Wonder tackles everything from the quandary of a lonely photofit through to what money may sound like and how a refusal to heed an American small-town cop’s warning to ‘never cross the great magnet’ leads to unimaginable consequences. The breathtaking sight of a sodium city floating high above the mountains continues the journey of surprise, as does an attempt to plan an epiphany, not to mention what happens when you order from the impossible menu or only have 24 hours to get out of town... Readers will also learn of the collective-noun collector’s astounding career path, sniff the aromatic agnostic and discover there are particles of wonder everywhere.
