Taking readers on a witty journey through the natural and cultural history of the egg, Lizzie Stark explores its deep symbolism, innumerable uses, and metabolic importance in twelve dazzling specimens. Decorated by Ukrainians, an oracle to Romans, fought over by Gold Rush gangs, and blasted into space, the egg has taken on mythic proportions and served as a star ingredient in global dishes. Stark also delves into her own fascination with the delicate ovoid-both her myriad attempts to create a perfect omelet and her fraught relationship to the ova in her body.
