Tender Is the Flesh

dark
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
This was fucking bleak man, i know that’s the point and all but it got to be kind of a slog by the end. I think it was well written, but i also think a lot of interesting plot points and potential messages were set aside for more graphic descriptions of human slaughterhouses and various atrocities. Idk I’m probably not gonna read it again so my thoughts about it aren’t that fleshed (haha) out, i just got tired of hanging out in Marcos’ head and also the many mentions of horrific violence towards women and young girls specifically.
