Tender Is the Flesh

This has to be one of the most brutal and disturbing novels I have ever read. And I absolutely loved it.
This story contained some incredibly visceral and disgusting scenes of body horror. Readers must expect all the possible content warnings in this book. I have never seriously considered becoming a vegetarian, but this book certainly made me think about it. I found meat absolutely disgusting while reading this book due to the stomach churning descriptions.
Overall, I thought this book was near perfection with a fantastic ending. I really liked the writing style which was concise and cutting. I really hope more of this author's work gets translated because I love reading fiction from fierce female voices. I have no doubt that I will be thinking about this dystopian future for a very long time.

One star for me. It seemed like one big torture porn wrapped in a one dimensional vegan message. I listened to in on 1.8 speed to get to the end but it was painful to slog to the end.
most impactful book i've read in many yearsthanks for discovering it for me, Rachel!
So glad you enjoyed it! And yes it definitely leaves a lasting impression
As my husband says.. tears make the meat taste better 🤣🤣 now I need to read this lmao
