Published in 1985, the book has been characterized as absurdist comedy.

Vicki Gaylord presents "Out of the basement and into the museum: My experience donating family belongings."
Cabinets of Curiosities will seek out the University of Minnesota Herbarium on the St Paul Campus. Tim Whifeld, Collections Manager, will share his knowledge of that amazing collection and explain its critical importance in the twenty-first century. Botanists study these pressed plants, individually and collectively, to establish a history of plant life, often over centuries, because they contain compelling evidence of the ever modulating geographical distribution of plants and evidence of how climate, pests, and other factors have changed species over time.
