General Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In Agustina Bazterrica's novel, Tender is the Flesh, a devastating virus has eliminated all animal livestock, forcing humanity to confront a gruesome alternative: the systematic breeding and consumption of humans. This dystopian world has normalized cannibalism, with humans referred to as "product" and "meat" within the chillingly efficient processing plants. The narrative follows Marcos, a man working in this industry, grappling with the moral implications of his role while navigating a society desensitized to its horrific reality. The book explores themes of dehumanization, the power of language to obscure truth, and the profound loss of former societal norms in the face of survival.
