Death is only an interruption as souls can be uploaded to the web and new bodies can be purchased by those wishing to reenter the physical world. The need to settle an old score pushes Ramiro Olivaires to move from the comfort of virtual existence back into a human body. Ramiro's grandson, however, can only afford the body of an overweight middle-aged woman. In the shell of this new body, Ramiro must adjust to the dizzying transformations that the world has undergone since his death. Using Ramiro himself as an avatar, Castagnet walks us through a stifling new version of reality where sex, gender, identity, religion, and politics are defined by the limitless possibilities of the human body. Castagnet is considered one of the most promising new voices in Latin American literature and \u003ci\u003eBodies of Summer\u003c\/i\u003e shows us why.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628971620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.90w x 0.30d","brand":"Martin Felipe Castagnet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36663073341596,"sku":"9781628971620","price":11.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b337c0ab-1c27-4913-95b7-7c09565a9082.jpg?v=1603903487","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/bodies-of-summer-9781628971620","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
