{"product_id":"9781913097875","title":"Paradais by Fernanda Melchor","description":"Inside a luxury housing complex, two misfit teenagers sneak around and get drunk. Franco Andrade, lonely, overweight, and addicted to porn, obsessively fantasizes about seducing his neighbor - an attractive married woman and mother - while Polo dreams about quitting his gruelling job as a gardener within the gated community and fleeing his overbearing mother and their narco-controlled village. Each facing the impossibility of getting what he thinks he deserves, Franco and Polo hatch a mindless and macabre scheme. Written in a chilling torrent of prose by one of our most thrilling new writers, Paradais explores the explosive fragility of Mexican society - fractured by issues of race, class and violence - and how the myths, desires, and hardships of teenagers can tear life apart at the seams.; 128 pages; Published: 23\/03\/2022\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9781913097875\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fitzcarraldo Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56456983609726,"sku":"9781913097875","price":19.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1298\/0350\/files\/9781913097875.jpg?v=1761330196","url":"https:\/\/it-book.co.uk\/products\/9781913097875","provider":"IT-Book","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
