Abstract
I cannot see the leg lamp from the film A Christmas Story (directed by Bob Clark, 1983) without going back to the night my dad walked into our home with a nail in his foot. His injury eventually led to a partial leg amputation. This piece of reflective writing interweaves research on the leg lamp—an understudied icon of twentieth-century decorative arts in the United States—through recollections of my dad’s life.
