>Tender Is the Flesh is an internationally best-selling dystopian and horror novel by Argentine author Agustina Bazterrica. It is set in a future where all animal meat is poisonous, and society has legalized and industrialized the consumption of human flesh, referred to euphemistically as "special meat". >The novel follows the protagonist, Marcos Tejo, a manager at a human meat processing plant. Marcos is a conflicted man, dealing with the grief of his infant son's death, the estrangement from his wife Cecilia, and the decline of his father into dementia. He initially tries to maintain a detached, bureaucratic approach to his job, processing "heads" (humans bred for consumption) as mere commodities>Marcos' world is disrupted when he receives a live, high-quality female "specimen" as a gift. Despite strict laws forbidding any personal contact with the "heads," he begins to treat her differently, names her Jasmine, and a complex, forbidden relationship develops. This growing empathy forces him to confront the moral decay of his society and his own complicity in the system>The novel culminates in a shocking ending that reveals the full extent of Marcos' internal corruption and the pervasive nature of the world's dehumanizationReddit told me it’s really awesome, and that for the supreme gentle-anons of 4chan this is their ideal world btw
It’s extremely chud-coded since women are seen as actual meatThe esteemed minds of New York Times and Reddit read it ironically, of course
Idris Elba>but mexican
>>217020451I have just the guy
>>217020100It wasn't supposed to be a non-fiction novel....
Mock-Kafka (e.g. Enemy or Man Facing Southeast) + Onions Green + Shape of Water, no thanks
>>217020524>spreadingApparently scientists counter mosquitos with gene engineering these days. A few methods include>using aerosols that turn all the males gay>creating super hot females (to the skeeters) in labs and then mass releasing them by the hundreds of thousands to MOG natty females, but the catch is that they are sterileAmong other thingsThis is beatable
>>217020131Gay designers, Troon surgeons see the human body as meat + shape it as they will
>>217020577>using aerosols that turn all the males gay
>>217020568>doubting Agustina Bazterrica of Argentina You plebeI bet you don’t even support abortionGet on her level (and on your knees, incel)
>>217020524Bill Gates' "Foundation" funds a lot of anti-human crap. He's obsessed with stopping meat consumption cos it's only for elites (reports of lobster + meat at the elites dinner with Charles, which Hugh Grant etc attended.) Ofc eating meat is a status symbol in most cultures. Keto is sustenance
>>217020100I picked this up on a lark at value village and loved it. I can't see an adaptation being very good of it was made now. For example, I thought handmaid's tale was alright when I read the book but the show was way too "trump era" coded
>>217020614Bella Ramsey should be so lucky
>>217020605>they hated him because he (yelled) the truth (like a schizophrenic)My cousin has a PhD in biochem and he tells me crazy shit about things private companies do to counter pests We actually talked about AJ and he was like “he was way ahead of his time” lol
>>217020524>>217020577Until we eliminate ticks with some frankenstein science, a permethrin spray for clothes is a viable diy option. It works.
>>217020524It’s only on red meat, poultry and fish chads won’t be affected.
>>217020673>pescatarians vindicated yet again
>>217020100>It is set in a future where all animal meat is poisonous, and society has legalized and industrialized the consumption of human flesh, referred to euphemistically as "special meat".Do they explain in the book why society can't find protein elsewhere? Eating humans seems like a pretty big step up.
>>217020705It’s fine, don’t be a haterThink of the art and the message behind it
>>217020654>Until we eliminate ticks with some frankenstein scienceWill never happen. Scientists are too pussy these days, even when it comes to shit like ticks which are pure negatives on the world.>b-but muh unforseen consequencesYes I'm sure getting rid of a parasite that does literally nothing but inflict misery and zero animals need as part of their diet will somehow be a bad thing.
>>217020779thanks for your valuable input faggot
>>217020616>stopping meat consumptionWe have so many wild boars and rabbits we need to be culling though, and their meat is edible with proper prepWho is he hiring that’s telling him shit?
>>217020831You're welcome, you homo larper.
>>217020100Interesting >Marcos' world is disrupted when he receives a live, high-quality female "specimen" as a gift.Annnnd dropped.
Reality mogs most fiction when it comes to horror
>>217020649Tell him to get on Alex’s show, if you’re being legitAlex would love hearing an actual PhD validate his retarded schizo bullshit lol
>>217020100So what, he slaughters her with his own hands at the end or something?
>>217021254Not before making her pregnant, giving him a child, and then raping her a bunch of other times. Also she is engineered to have a mind of a child.
>>217021291>>217021254This author needs to release the files
>>217021291wow how quaint. Never read a book written after 2000
>>217020896You’re part of the problem for giving this tryhard faggot any amount of attention or even a second thought. Don’t be doing that
>>217021468My mistake, I am an avid /pol/ anon (/pol/cel) and he has been spammed relentlessly there I will Be The Change™ starting today as my New Year’s resolution
>>217020100>dealing with the grief of his infant son's death,Let me guess, his son got processed into some sort of super secret but delicious meat. His wife is complicit which is why she's acting weirdly.
>>217020100>>217020131>explicit Feminist propaganda is presented as "reactionary chudlit" by what could only be faggots with a trillion terabytes of child porn and bestialityKill yourselves
>>217022118No, (you) will not be consuming my flesh today incel Go vegan, NOW coward
>>217022042He is only sad because his child was a boyIf he had a daughter then he wouldn’t care, like most “men” who don’t pay attention dates would
>>217022363I looked up the plot summary and apparently the purpose of the infant son is just to be replaced by new babies he breeds with the cattle slave. Should have guessed that's where the book is going. Love when these little summaries randomly put emphasis on little details so you already know it's going to be a major plot point.
>>217022609Wait weren’t children born from food-women considered food themselves? Idk I too read a short summary on this dogshit smut but that was years ago
>>217022664Yes but the protagonist would have claimed that it was his wife's baby.
>>217022780Woah, how deep and complex this premise is>give it a movie, a show and a comic STATOh and sell them at book fairs in schools too
Normies and cannibalism, name a better duo
>>217023444Checked
