Description

Dust is an Object Lessons book that explores the hidden lives of ordinary things. It reveals how dust gathers in layers, adapting to its surroundings and marking the passage of time. As a phenomenon, dust blurs the boundaries between living and dead matter, inside and outside, and our own existence. In this thought-provoking book, dust is treated as a key to thinking about existence, community, and justice today. The author examines how it can provide new insights into these complex issues. Published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic, Dust offers a unique perspective on the world around us. By considering dust as more than just a mundane presence, this book invites readers to reflect on their relationship with the world and its many mysteries.
