Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humansâthough no one calls them that anymore.
His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the âTransition.â Now, eating human meatââspecial meatââis legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing.
Then one day heâs given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though heâs aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lostâand what might still be saved.

DÄlig litteratur, inte för att den Àr Àcklig utan för att den inte Àr nÄgot mer, alls.

Krypande och obekvÀm, men gripande och omöjlig att lÀgga ifrÄn sig!

FullstÀndigt vidrig bok. Hade förvÀntat mig mÄlande vÄldsskildringar eller liknande. IstÀllet Àr boken skriven pÄ ett otroligt torrt och kliniskt vis vilket gör hÀndelserna mer magstarka Àn jag nÄgonsin kunnat förutspÄ. Mitt inre Àr helt i uppror efter att ha lÀst den hÀr boken, och jag Àlskar det!
