{"product_id":"eradication-a-fable-9798217294794","title":"Eradication: A Fable","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom acclaimed author Jonathan Miles (\"a writer so virtuosic that readers will feel themselves becoming better, more observant people from reading him\"--\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e) comes a blackly comic literary gem in which a broken man confronts a broken world on an uninhabited Pacific island.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReeling from tragedy, a former jazz musician-turned-schoolteacher named Adi answers a job listing advertising a chance to save the world. The assignment: to spend five weeks alone on the tiny, isolated Pacific Island of Santa Flora righting an ecological balance that's gone severely out of whack, with the aim of preserving countless bird and plant species from certain extinction. What follows, however, is anything but balanced. The threats to the once-Edenic island, Adi soon learns, aren't exactly what his employers said they were--and, complicating things further, he discovers he's not alone on the island. Fearful for his own life, and for the fate of the island's, Adi spends his sun-drenched days rooting out the true threat to Santa Flora, and, by extension, to the world it occupies--and the desperate steps he must take to eradicate it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA desert-island meditation on the contours of love and grief and solitude, as well as jolt to your emotional core, \u003ci\u003eEradication\u003c\/i\u003e is an utterly unforgettable reading experience, a narrative tour de force, and the work of a truly singular imagination.
