- Synopsis
- Meditating on our relationship to bugs, Raffles set himself the task of writing an A to Z encyclopedia of a very personal sort, in which he records his thoughts on specific points of insect behavior, strange human behavior involving insects, and human's interests in insects' behaviors based on their own strange predilections. Chinese cricket fights, Himmler's grotesque characterization of Jews as lice, queer sex among insects and animals, and Sahelian locust swarms as another fatal threat in war-ravaged Niger, are among the unlikely and fascinating topics.
