{"product_id":"the-book-of-eve-9781646052240","title":"The Book of Eve","description":"What if everything they've told us about the Garden of Eden was wrong? Faced with what appears to be an apocryphal manuscript containing ten books and 91 chapters, Eve decides to tell her version of the story of Genesis: she was not created from Adam's rib, nor is it correct that she was expelled for taking the apple from the serpent; the story of Abel and Cain isn't true, neither are those of the Flood and the Tower of Babel...\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn brilliant prose, Carmen Boullosa offers a twist on the Book of Genesis that dismantles patriarchy and rebuilds our understanding of the world--from the origin of gastronomy, to the domestication of animals, to the cultivation of land and pleasure--all through the feminine gaze. Based on this exploration, at times both joyful painful, The Book of Eve takes a tour through the stories we've been told since childhood, which have helped to foster (and cement) the absurd idea that woman is the companion, complement, and even accessory to man, opening the door to criminal violence against women. Boullosa refutes this entrenched, dangerous perspective in her foundational and brazen feminist novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Deep Vellum Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646052240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252","brand":"Carmen Boullosa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42607899508917,"sku":"9781646052240","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_700754be-0181-4bd9-a12a-edce1506482c.jpg?v=1674573915","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-book-of-eve-9781646052240","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
