Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

One thing I'd like to point out is that people seem to equate this as to those cringey PETA posts when it's never really about eating animal meat in the first place. We get one mention of vegans and never again. It's about class, power structure and capitalism; a depraved eat-or-be-eaten hellscape maximized.
