5/22/2023 0 Comments Tender is the flesh readMy original review of this book was literally, “what the fuck”, and I stand by that as the ending truly made me feel that way. However, by the end of the book, those feelings drastically change. This makes him feel more like what you would think of yourself in this situation and makes the character more likable. In the book, the main character seemingly separates himself from society in that he doesn’t want to cave into needing the “special meat”. Additionally, the world-building was truly part of the horror experience, and I think that that really assisted in making one squeamish while reading. There was a lot of description needed for us to understand how our government would approve of such a thing, but the way it was put in the story made sense. Marcos, our main character, works for a meat processing plant and does his best not to let it take away his humanity.Īgustina Bazterrica does an amazing job of world-building in what one would consider a short standalone book. Oh, and, no big deal but, eating human meat is legal now. His wife has left him after his son has passed away, and, his father is slipping into dementia while his sister seemingly doesn’t care. In this book, we follow our main character as his personal life is falling apart and society is slipping into madness. In Tender is the Flesh, all animals are dead, and we farm humans for meat. Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica is a horror that addresses raw human nature.
