Chapter 1: Introduction

Odds are this has happened to you… Wheeling your trolley round the supermarket, you discover somebody else's handwritten shopping list left littered at the bottom.

But have you ever paused to wonder about the story behind the list? That is exactly what Kieran has done, collecting and exploring the quiet narratives hidden within more than 1,000 (each given a serial number) in the form of a book, live show, and exhibition. The book is a work in progress but some chapters are teased here.

All persons, events, and institutions are fictitious so any resemblance is coincidental. Adult themes are explored.
