Description
Big Snake Little Snake: An Inquiry Into Risk by DBC Pierre is a collection of true stories gathered during a journey to make a short film with a parrot in Trinidad. This book delves into the world of gambling, exploring the complex relationships between gamblers and their games, as well as the mindset of those who become obsessed. The inquiry was sparked by a small snake found on Pierre's doorstep, which led him to investigate the symbolism of snakes in a local numbers game based on dreams and superstition. The result is a thought-provoking examination of the invisible odds and outrageous chances that shape our everyday lives. Through his stories, Pierre sheds light on the intricate web of chance and probability that governs human experience.
