The Story of My Teeth

Highway is a late-in-life world traveller, 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.

One of the weirder books I read for school back in the day, about storytelling, art, teeth, and what/how we value. The author also wrote this in collaboration with workers at a juice factory, which she talks about in the book and is v cool!
