Rather than offering a conventional ecological history or a simple critique of markets, the book follows a global commodity chain that links forests in the Pacific Northwest and beyond with collectors, traders, migrants, and consumers in Japan. Tsing is interested in what becomes possible when environments have been disrupted by logging, war, and industrial development, and how human and nonhuman lives continue to organize themselves in those ruins. The book is distinctive for its interdisciplinary method, combining fieldwork, theory, and a deliberately fragmented form that mirrors the patchy, contingent worlds it describes.
