{"product_id":"lovebug","title":"Lovebug","description":"\u003cp\u003eDaisy Lafarge explores metaphors of love and disease as she seeks to understand human vulnerability and our intimacy with microbial life. Turning to microbiology, mysticism, and psychoanalysis - as well as the raw materials of love and life - she navigates the uncomfortable intimacy between the human body and the many bacteria, viruses, and parasites to which it is host. 'Lovebug' is a book about the poetics of infection, and about how we can learn to live with multispecies ambivalence. How might we forge non-phobic relationships to our 'little beasts'? How might we rewild our imaginations? In weaving the personal with the pathological, 'Lovebug' complicates the idea of coherent selfhood, revealing life as a site of radical vulnerability and an ongoing negotiation with limit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peninsula Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43324607168663,"sku":"9781913512378","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9857\/1159\/files\/9781913512378.jpg?v=1696420402","url":"https:\/\/bookbag.mom\/products\/lovebug","provider":"Bookbag Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
