"In a near-future in which cannibalism is legal, humans are bred to be eaten and graves are ransacked for tasty cadavers. A man who works in a meat processing facility suddenly finds himself with a costly luxury gift: a human who should be consumed for her flesh. This is a bleak, relentless dystopia that astounds with its precise, cutting prose. It’s also a delight to read fiction that does not fit into the magical realist mold that the publishing industry demands of most Latin American writers."
