"Smoke itself acts as narrator, telling us how it has served humankind since prehistoric times in signaling, beekeeping, curing and flavoring food, religious rites, fumigating insects, and myriad other ways"-- - WW Norton
âI lack a mouth, but I can speakâ¦. I lack hands, but I can push out unwanted guestsâ¦. Iâm gentler than a feather, but I can cause harmâ¦". The resulting illustrations are astounding, and they resonate with the otherworldly text. - WW Norton
