It's About The Easy Way Out: Agustina Bazterrica's "Tender Is The Flesh"

from Novel Ideas · host The Novel Ideas Podcast

To say Agustina put her foot in this book would be a poor, but accurate, choice of words for a book about humanity's commitment towards government-sanctioned cannibalism. From abhorrent conditions for "meat" and "flesh" for sale, we follow the steps of a deceptive protagonist who offers subversive, and complicit accounts of the everyday life of Carlos Tejo, a meat runner leading us through this world of disgustingly parallel sentiments on consumption of one's humanity and the complicity for such madness for our safety. Rage with me as we bring in October for a month of horror and disgust. Enjoy! BYYEEE!!!!
