But I'm grateful for that inauspicious start because ugliness, as my other uncle, Eurípides López Sánchez, was given to saying, is character forming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighway is a late-in-life world traveler, yarn spinner, collector, and legendary auctioneer. His most precious possessions are the teeth of the \"notorious infamous\" like Plato, Petrarch, and Virginia Woolf. Written in collaboration with the workers at a Jumex juice factory, Teeth is an elegant, witty, exhilarating romp through the industrial suburbs of Mexico City and Luiselli's own literary influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValeria Luiselli was born in Mexico City in 1983 and grew up in South Africa. Her work has been translated into many languages and has appeared in publications including the New York Times, Granta, and McSweeney's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e • Author: Valeria Luiselli • Publisher: Coffee House Press • Format: Paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedar Leaf Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109351051308,"sku":"9781566894098","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2234\/1420\/files\/9781566894098.jpg?v=1788909623","url":"https:\/\/cedarleafbooks.com\/products\/the-story-of-my-teeth","provider":"Cedar Leaf Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
