Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica
4.0
So many thoughts in this book and I don’t know how I’m going to put them into words but I will try.
I loved the writing style, I also liked the way it went into the different parts of slaughter, preparation and consumption of meat to help us as a reader understand what’s involved. It invoked thoughts on veganism & how animals in slaughterhouses are treated in the real world, on game/trophy hunting and made me want to, once again, become vegetarian at a bare minimum.
It made me think more about capitalism, the government, the language that is used in society and how this all affects the general public.
‘She had the human look of a domesticated animal’
This book lead me down a path that made me believe he actually cared for Jasmine and maybe she would die in childbirth or they would continue to care for her in a way but how wrong was I?!
Maybe I will come back to this review when I’ve more time to process my thoughts.
