But when it comes to killing the chickens, she attempts to give their lives meaning by composing short biographies for each of them, therefore humanizing the meat about to be eaten. There is Theodore, “a free, independent and mischievous character,” and Léna, “the most beautiful kid, with her beautiful, well-screwed crest that ends in lace.” • There’s Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals, • Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma • , and Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation • , but never has there been a humorous take on the topic of industrial animal processing. Fowl Eulogies • is an absurd fairy tale for the Ethical Carnivore. • Fiction of perfect madness, of brutal and unprecedented humor … From the meadow to the supermarket, this modern tale, a dazzling first novel of mischief and feathers, brings to life the singular poetry of the industrial chicken. • Originally published in France.
