Midway through her new story collection What Is **t Yours Is **t Yours, 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?

The wooden devil suspected keys cause more problems than they solve."
