{"product_id":"childish-literature","title":"Childish Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr\u003ePublished: UK, 2024\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Fitzcarraldo Editions\u003cbr\u003ePages: 216\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English \u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 1804271101\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13:  9781804271100\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alejandro Zambra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50181597069578,"sku":"","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781804271100.jpg?v=1729931300","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/childish-literature","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
