E-Books →Another Bone-Swapping Event

"Brad Fox has traveled to the center of many worlds and here records a visit to the 'passionate nada' in his disarming, beautifully natural style. Stranded in a powerful landscape, a clear voice renders human situations in elegant sentences that build to animate profound heartache and self-discovery. Read Another Bone-Swapping Event and witness what transforms."
-Eugene Lim, author of Search History and Fog & Car
In Another Bone-Swapping Event, Brad Fox tells the story of a year he spent stuck in the high jungles of Peru living with a family of Quechua-speaking curanderos responsible for a hundred-hectare stretch of jungle four hours' walk from the nearest dirt road. In the care of local maestro Miguel Tapullima, Fox gets a crash course in traditional medicine and takes readers on a labyrinthine tour, in turn contemplative and comic, navigating the coexisting realities of the human and more-than-human world.
Through it all, the lush prose that made The Bathysphere Book so distinct turns this book into its own rich and multi-layered experience, because with Brad Fox as our guide we're able to stretch our minds to encompass histories and meanings, metaphysical questions at the base of phenomena, and the shattering ironies of the moment, all during peak COVID, when no one knew how our collective future might unfold.
