{"product_id":"9781804271100","title":"Childish Literature - Alejandro Zambra","description":"How do we write about the singular experience of parenthood? Written in a `state of attachment', or `under the influence' of fatherhood, Childish Literature is an eclectic guide for novice parents, showing how the birth and growth of a child changes not only the present and the future, but also reshapes our perceptions of the past. Shifting from moving dispatches from his son's first year of existence, to a treatise on `football sadness', to a psychedelic narrative where a man tries, mid-magic mushroom trip, to re-learn the subtle art of crawling, this latest work from Alejandro Zambra shows how children shield adults from despondency, self-absorption and the tyrannies of chronological time. At once a chronicle of fatherhood, a letter to a child and a work of fiction, Childish Literature is the latest, virtuosic addition to the oeuvre of one of the most exciting Latin American writers in recent decades.","brand":"Alejandro Zambra","offers":[{"title":"216 pages \/ 24\/10\/2024 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":57459210322295,"sku":"9781804271100","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781804271100.jpg?v=1789549480","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781804271100","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
