I'm listening to a book on Audible that is giving me some courage regarding a dark near future retold fairytale in which a poverty-stricken famine-struck US sees citizens desperate for sustenance. Several years ago, the project seemed too brutal, even as fiction, but with the unfolding worldwide economic crisis, combined with inspiration from the Argentinian writer Augustina Bazterrica, I'm beginning to feel differently. A brief insight, found on LinkedIn: #bookstodon

Tender is the Flesh: Terrifying fiction that parallels reality | Jeannette Louise Smith

With the obliteration of non-human animal life, Agustina Bazterrica’s novel, Tender is the Flesh, depicts a human society that has devolved into a species with a complete absence of conscience, compassion, empathy, and morality.

@MargaretSefton this sounds really interesting! (Even though I don't tend to read horror-ish) Just requested from my library.

@constantorbit A warning that it is very intense and dark. I even pick the time I listen, depending on what I need to focus on and whether I can handle it. The concept is highly unusual and irreverent, but then again, that is why it is worth a listen, at least to me.
