{"product_id":"trujillo-simon-lopez-pedro-the-vast","title":"Trujillo, Simón López - Pedro the Vast","description":"Simon Lopez Trujillo's 'mind-blowing' (Gabriela Cabezn Cmara) debut\ntakes readers into a dry and degraded, fire-prone landscape where humanity\nhas encroached a step too far into the natural world, and a deadly\nfungus mounts its own resistance.\nIn the disorienting, devastatingly tense world of Lpez Trujillo, a eucalyptus\nfarm worker named Pedro starts coughing. Several of his coworkers die of\na strange fungal disease, which has jumped to humans for the first time, but\nPedro, miraculously, awakes. His survival fascinates a foreign mycologist, as\nwell as a local priest, who dubs his mysterious mutterings to be the words of\na prophet. Meanwhile Pedro's kids are left to fend for themselves: the young\nCata, whose creepy art projects are getting harder and harder to decipher, and\nPatricio, who wasn't ready to be thrust into the role of father. Their competing\nefforts to reckon with Pedro's condition eventually meet in a horrifying climax\nthat readers will never forget.\nFor readers of Jeff VanderMeer and Samanta Schweblin, Lpez Trujillo is a\nnext-generation Bolano with a fresh, speculative edge and a mind that's always\none step ahead of us.","brand":"Scribe UK","offers":[{"title":"Paperback Book","offer_id":50907756462358,"sku":"RMX-60009","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/d9e289ec7062ea337e706e0e1141cde0.jpg?v=1767708641","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/trujillo-simon-lopez-pedro-the-vast","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
