Over the course of three summers in New England, Malcolm gathered leaves of the burdock plant, a "large rank weed" with medicinal properties "that grows along roadsides and in waste places and around derelict buildings". This book reminds readers that writers like Chekhov and Hawthorne have used burdock "to denote ruin and desolation".
