Echoes of timeless myth and folklore reverberate through urgent narratives of discovery, appetite, and coming-of-age in a time of crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \"The Changeling,\" two young cousins wait in dread for a new family member to arrive, convinced that he may be a dangerous supernatural creature. In \"Endangered Animals,\" Jane prepares to say goodbye to her almost-love while they road-trip across a country irrevocably altered by climate change. In \"Take Only What Belongs to You,\" a queer woman struggles with the personal history of an author she idolized, while in \"Fiddler, Fool, Pair,\" an anthropologist is drawn into a magical--and dangerous--gamble. In the title story, partners Agnes and Geb feast peacefully on the mushrooms that sprout from Agnes's body--until an unwanted male guest disturbs their cloistered home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAudacious, striking, and wholly original, \u003cem\u003eFruiting Bodies\u003c\/em\u003e offers stories about knowledge in a world on the verge of collapse, knowledge that alternately empowers or devastates. Pulling beautifully, brazenly, from a variety of literary traditions, Kathryn Harlan firmly establishes herself as a thrilling new voice in fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 268\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.2 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42690794029119,"sku":"9781324089018","price":21.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/17bbf3998921c3f034ec36198c167ff9_dfa4c837-11ea-48a5-8cdd-db95e2eb22cf.webp?v=1764990138","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/fruiting-bodies-stories-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
