Esse livro nos faz refletir, inevitavelmente, sobre inúmeros pontos da vida: sobre o nosso egoísmo e egocentrismo, sobre os nossos hábitos, sobre o que consumimos, sobre o que acreditamos, sobre o que achamos que é normal.

Nossas escolhas são as certas ou aceitamos passivamente o que é errado? Somos moralistas até certo ponto, onde nos convém.

Essa história traz agonia, reflexão, indigestão mas uma certeza que é preciso pensar mais sobre nossas predileções, sobre aquilo que consideramos banal.

'Tender Is The Flesh' is a dark and gory story. But it's darkness and gore serve to illustrate an image of our modern reality and the loss of humanity that is often found within capitalistic systems around the globe. 

This story was very disturbing at times, but it was hard to put down and the twist at the end was a shocking end to a unique and thought provoking story.

Uma narrativa curta (que poderia ter sido mais explorada, daí as 4 estrelas) focado num tema cru e brutal. E se...?
Uma ideia genial que explora uma perspectiva do pior que o ser humano tem para oferecer. Óptimo para uma altura de pandemia...
A ler.

Contrary to what the blurb says, this is a book about grief, first and foremost. Grief over the loss of a child, and grief over family being broken.
