About this title

Synopsis

"My best definition of a nerd: someone who asks you to explain an aphorism." -Nassim Taleb
This book is not for nerds. It is a book for the daring and the subversive. Combining short story, theological essays, and sixty visualizations, this book marshals both word and image in its aim to dare the reader to consider the other side beyond the mundane boundaries of right and wrong.
The book of Proverbs consists of aphorisms, or pithy observations, that are seductively accessible all the while unsettling the world as we know it. The wisdom contained in the book of Proverbs loses its power when it is overly explained, or when it is packaged as a series of helpful tips for the so-called blessed life.
"The words of the wise prod us to live well. They re like nails hammered home, holding life together." -Ecclesiastes 12:11 (The Message)
