Overview

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 northeastern of the country, four hours’ walk from the nearest dirt road. Following the practice and philosophy of the region’s visionary shaman Miguel Tapullimas, 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.

""Brad Fox has traveled to the center of many worlds and here records a visit to the 'passionate nada' in his disarming, beautifully natural style. Stranded in a powerful landscape, a clear voice renders human situations in elegant sentences that build to animate profound heartache and self-discovery. Read Another Bone-Swapping Event and witness what transforms."" —Eugene Lim, author of Search History and Fog & Car
