- Summary:
-
One day in Trinidad, DBC Pierre arrived home to find a little snake on his doorstep. Snakes symbolise a road in a Trinidadian numbers game based on dreams and superstition, and Pierre viewed this as a symbol of luck. A Trinidadian adventure ensued. "Big Snake Little Snake" is a cascade of true stories and events by DBC Pierre, recorded while on his way to make a short film with a parrot. The book not only examines the nature of gambling, the love affair between gambler and game and the mindset of obsessive practitioners, but aims to shed light on the invisible odds and outrageous chances of everyday life on Earth.
