Yard Sale in Poortown

By John DeMarco

Yard Sale in Poortown spans a single day in the life of the Bender Family - Bob and Marlene, their five kids, and Granny - as they hold their first ever yard sale. Starting innocently enough as an effort to raise funds to get Granny to the family reunion, the day gradually becomes a darkly comic quest for real value in a world of stratospheric losses and gains. This satirical meditation on the American cultural landscape examines income disparity, racism, consumerism, informationism, national identity, personal identity, and the nature of our values. Funny, tragic, entertaining, disturbing, human, and painfully relevant to our times, Yard Sale in Poortown is a unique and haunting book.
