{"product_id":"bad-seed-stories-1","title":"Bad Seed: Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eA vibrant debut short story collection depicting the disillusionment that comes with being young and queer in Puerto Rico.\u003cbr\u003eThe visceral, wildly imaginative stories in Bad Seed flick through working-class scenes of contemporary Puerto Rico, where friends and lovers melt into and defy their surroundings—night clubs, ruined streets, cramped rooms with cockroaches moving in the walls. A horny high schooler spends his summer break in front of the TV; a queer love triangle unravels on the emblematic theater steps of the University of Puerto Rico; a group of friends get high and watch San Juan burn from atop a clocktower; an HIV positive college student works the night shift at a local bathhouse. At turns playful and heartbreaking, Bad Seed is the long overdue English-language debut of one of Puerto Rico’s most exciting up-and-coming writers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giovanni's Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018743382327,"sku":"9781558613201","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/9926\/1239\/files\/9781558613201.jpg?v=1756575637","url":"https:\/\/shop.queerbooks.com\/products\/bad-seed-stories-1","provider":"Philly AIDS Thrift @ Giovanni's Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
