The Most Strange Telephone, and Other Memories is a collection of 50 telephone-related memories solicited by artist and editor Leslie Hickey early in the pandemic. Each memory is paired with either a found photograph or an image from Hickey’s sizable archive. The book opens with an extensive “Directory” or index which the reader can use to land on a memory that mentions words as varied as breakfast, Cheryl, moment, or waterfall.
