Midway through her new story collection What Is **t Yours Is **t Yours (http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/318836/what-is-**t-yours-is-**t-yours-by-helen-oyeyemi/9781594634635/), Helen Oyeyemi launches into a tirade against keys:
"A key ring gets left in your care and you reject all responsibility for it yet can't bring yourself to throw it away. **r can you give the thing away — to whom can someone of good conscience give such an object such as a key? Always up to something, stitching paths and gateways together even as it sits quite still; its powers of interference can only be guessed at. The wooden devil suspected keys cause more problems than they solve."
