"Configuration of the Appliance House Call the Appliance house a suburban home turned into a shelter from every kind of consumptive adversity the city is able to muster. The house is simply composed of three pairs of small rooms facing onto a hall whose doors to the street and garden are pierced at either end. Each room encloses an accentuated state of normal, everyday, suburban living, but the rooms have all changed their nameplates. Where there used to be the cozy nook with an open fireplace, there is a furnace to suit the pyromaniac within us all. Where there was once a study, in which the Toby Jug collection and family sport trophies were displayed, there now exists the Kleptoman Cell, a room given over to the face to face confrontation of what it means to have in one's possession any object gleaned by any means, fair or foul. These worded descriptions mark the point in time when given names are assigned to the components of the House. They are not yet substantiated by any structure that can make the collection of names any more viable than the frailty of their written form. It now remains for this moment to be catalyzed."
