The translations of these similes have been polished as little as possible, for their unpolished nature is precisely what reveals unexpected layers of meaning, making them so provocative. This book is a companion to Itâs Like This.

This includes most e-reader applications on mobile phones and tablets (e.g. Apple's iBooks, various apps for Android), and on desktops (e.g. Calibre). - Kindle owners will generally want the AZW3 format. Unfortunately, AZW3s cannot be sent with Amazon's Send to Kindle service and need to be sideloaded via USB. Some have tried using Send to Kindle to send EPUBs, but with mixed success. - Kobo owners will want kobo's "KEPUB" format, which is a version of the EPUB format optimized for Kobo e-readers. ## Table of Contents - Cover - Titlepage - Copyright - Photo - Quotation - Introduction - Your Real Home - To the Ocean - Groundwater - Itâs All Right Here - Elephants, Oxen, & Water Buffaloes - The Roots - The Lost Wallet - Wagon Wheels, Wagon Tracks - A Block of Ice - Children, Bullets - The Tail of the Snake - The King of Death - The Beginning Is the End - Leaves - Colored Water - Orphaned - Why Itâs Heavy - A Hypodermic Needle - Meat Stuck in Your Teeth - A Thirst unto Death - Poking a Red Antsâ Nest - A Frog on the Hook - A Sense That Your Arm is Short - Rowf!
