Written by poet Sid Gershgoren, The Twenty-fifth Catalog of Past Rentals is a fictional catalog, celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of a company that rents its customers the experience of a particular person in a particular time and place in the past. The catalog contains entries describing the specifics of various historical travel. Many of the entries are accompanied by letters written by customers who have taken these trips.
