But of the many creatures she encounters with whom she bears some kind of kinship, it is the humans—all of them now simply scrambling to survive-who are the most insidious.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith The Strange Bird, Jeff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVanderMeer has done more than add a new chapter to his celebrated novel Borne.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe has created a whole new perspective on the world inhabited by Rachel and Wick, the Magician, Mord, and Borne—a view from above, but also a view from deep inside the mind of a new kind of creature who will fight and suffer and live for the tenuous future of this world.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48691174277362,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/7685\/4977\/files\/3A7A626D-771F-47FF-BDCC-9A23184D3CAD.jpg?v=1769393980","url":"https:\/\/postmarkedfromthestars.com\/products\/the-strange-bird-a-borne-story-jeff-vandermeer-2018-trade-paperback","provider":"Postmarked from the Stars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
