Dark and brooding, Bazterrica takes the reader on a fascinating journey into a not so distant future where animals are diseased and humans become the meat we consume.
The irony lies in the ways it is regulated, and that Marcos was key in developing and enforcing regulations he later breaks while dealing with the late stages of his father’s life, tied in with the death of his son and loss of his wife at the same time.
Fascinating exploration of how far we are willing to go, and how we view the morals of what we do, and others do and how different those can feel from our own egocentric view of the world/reality.
