From Ice Age cave drawings to \u003ci\u003eSnakes on a Plane\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eObject Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in the \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErica Wright \u003c\/b\u003eis a senior editor and the poetry editor at \u003ci\u003eGuernica Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e.
