What is Egg (Object Lessons) about?

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. This book is about a strange object-strange in part because it is something that we all have been, and that many of us eat. Nicole Walker's Egg relishes in sharp juxtapositions of seemingly fanciful or repellent topics, so that reproductive science and gustatory habits are considered alongside one another, and personal narrative and broad swaths of natural history jostle, like yolk and albumen. Mapping curious eggs across times, scales, and spaces, Egg draws together surprising perspectives on this common object-egg as food, as art object, as metaphor and feminist symbol, as cultural icon. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic. ** Anthropology Cultural & Social Social Science Literary Criticism Semiotics & Theory Philosophy Media Studies Aesthetics Title Page 6 Copyright Page 7 Contents 10 Acknowledgments 13 Dear egg, 16 Why we break the things we love the most 19 Rotten eggs 29 The egg came first 31 Experiment with eggs by making a hollandaise in the time of global warming 47 How to cook a planet 49 Spoons 65 The glue that holds
