Angel's Book
- The book Angel is seen reading is La Nausée (Nausea) by Jean-Paul Sartre; its main theme is the nature of existential angst, a quality often associated with Angel. The fact that the cover features the original French title suggests Angel is proficient enough with French to read the book in its original language. La Nausée has a great deal of personal significance for Joss Whedon. In his commentary for the Firefly episode "Objects in Space," Whedon says that when he first began to think about the meaning of life a friend gave him La Nausée, which defined his interpretation of existence.
