I gulped it down with my heart racing.” - Sue Rainsford, author of Follow Me to Ground “A brutal tale of what humans are capable of inflicting on themselves when social norms collapse.
My heart was breaking even as my skin was crawling.” - Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies “Provocative, muscular, and entirely unforgiving, this terrifying novel is a timely reminder that words have the power to strip us of our humanity. Without a doubt, my favorite read of this year.” -Christina Dalcher, author of Vox "What a compelling, terrible beauty this novel is. and a book that will stick with you for a long time." - Thrillist “ This translated prizewinner by Argentinian novelist Bazterrica exquisitely dishes up an intricate tale of a systematized dystopian society… a sagacious and calculated exploration of the limits of moral ambiguity it sears and devastates.” - Booklist, starred review "This book will pull you in, take hold, and not let go until you reach the final page-perhaps far longer than that. An unrelentingly dark and disquieting look at the way societies conform to committing atrocities.” - Kirkus Reviews "Propulsive and deranged, Tender Is the Flesh is a weird and quick read that strays far enough from our current reality to be utterly engrossing.
PRAISE FOR TENDER IS THE FLESH BY AGUSTINA BAZTERRICA WINNER OF ARGENTINA’S CLARÍN NOVELA PRIZE 2017 “From the first words of the Argentine novelist Agustina Bazterrica’s second novel, “Tender Is the Flesh,” the reader is already the livestock in the line, reeling, primordially aware that this book is a butcher’s block, and nothing that happens next is going to be pretty.” - New York Times Book Review "The novel is horrific, yes, but fascinatingly provocative (and Orwellian) in the way it exposes the lengths society will go to deform language and avoid moral truths." - Taylor Antrim, Vogue “Taut and thought-provoking.a chilling and alarmingly prophetic book.this is an urgent cautionary tale.timely, crucial.” - Words Without Borders "A ruthlessly clever, Orwellian satire of our dog-eat-dog, er, man-eat-man modern world." - NJ.com “It is a testament to Bazterrica’s skill that such a bleak book can also be a page-turner.
