Richard's inimitable hilarious philosophical, self-deprecating, yearning voice and his sharp and loving eye for common foibles and unexpected virtues make for a comic novel crammed Fall of surprise and pleasure. Second Hand is peppered with insight as unpretentious and satisfying as the unexpected garage sale find, Junk Richard tells us "has taught me that to find new use for an object discarded is an act of glistening purity I have learned that a camera case makes a damn fine purse or that 40 copies of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass's Whipped Cream and Other Delights' may be used to cover a wall of a bedroom.... Junk has taught me that all will come to junk eventually, and much sooner than you think."
