Tender Is The Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica
In a dystopian world where animal meat is no longer consumable due to a virus, society turns to human meat as the new source of sustenance. The story follows Marcos, who works at a processing plant, as he navigates the moral complexities and emotional turmoil of this grim reality. As he grapples with his own grief and the dehumanization around him, Marcos is forced to confront the boundaries of humanity and morality when he is given a live human specimen. The novel explores themes of power, exploitation, and the fragility of societal norms in a chilling and thought-provoking narrative.
