“Another Bone-Swapping Event is a trippy modern Decameron. Sequestered with an unlikely group of people from around the world, Brad Fox spent the covid pandemic in the Peruvian mountains under the care of a curandero with vast knowledge of medicinal plants. In this polyphonic book, the voices of humans and plants are woven into a dense meditation on suffering, healing, deception, truth, and what it means to be a living being on Earth.” — Marcia Bjornerud, author of Turning to Stone: Discovering the Subtle Wisdom of Rocks

“Another Bone-Swapping Event is a profound meditation on what it means to exist on a fragile and vulnerable planet while simultaneously exploring its frayed, otherworldly edges.” — Joanna Pocock, author of Surrender and Greyhound

Brad Fox takes us on a mind-bending exploration of meaning, matter, and plants, stemming from a 10-day trip that lasted 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 that made The Bathysphere Book so embraced 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, all during peak COVID, when no one knew how our collective future might unfold.
