Brad Fox takes us on a wild exploration of plants and people, imagination and matter, over an unexpected year-long waylay in the high jungle of northeastern Peru.
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.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Brad Fox takes us on a mind-bending exploration of meaning, matter, and plants, stemming from a year in the high jungles of northeastern Peru. In Another Bone-Swapping Event, Brad Fox tells the story of a wild year spent stuck in the high jungles of Peru, living with a family of Quechua-speaking curanderos - traditional medicine practitioners -responsible for a 100-hectare stretch of jungle just outside of Tarapoto in the northeastern part of the country, four hours' walk from the nearest dirt road. In the care of local maestro Miguel Tapullima, Fox takes readers on a labyrinthine tour of meaning and matter, navigating elementary metaphysics, the wavering ambiguity of phenomena, and the absurdities of the moment. Through it all, the lush prose turns this book into its own mind-altering experience because, with Brad Fox as our guide, we're able to engage with mind-altering possibilities that we may never have considered before.
