Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Feared and worshiped in equal measure, snakes have captured the imagination of poets, painters, and philosophers for centuries. From Ice Age cave drawings to Snakes on a Plane, this creature continues to enthrall the public. But what harm has been caused by our mythologizing? While considering the dangers of stigma, Erica Wright moves from art and pop culture to religion, fetish, and ecologic disaster. This book considers how the snake has become more symbol than animal, a metaphor for how we treat whatever scares us the most, whether or not our panic is justified. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in the The Atlantic.

When Ali asks her why he can't sing, she tells him that singing is a gift from God, so Ali decidees to search for God to ask for the "gift". In this search he meets unusual characters, among them: Virgil, an Indian taxi driver; a rollerblading girl with orange hair who tries to teach him to sing like Elvis; an Italian boatman; two eccentric sisters who run a homeless shelter; a penniless man who thinks he's Humphrey Bogart; and a weeping bride who wants to sing a song about a rattlesnake at her wedding. Ali's odyssey leads him to big truths about the world. Back at home, he wonders if one of those strange people could have been God in disguise. When he sings a song about a rabbit, he sings well - not as well as others - but not too badly. Satisfied at last, he thanks God and goes to sleep." -- Back cover

They may not pay taxes, or believe in gainful employment, but then they don't expect handouts from anybody either, especially the Government.
