So I finished Tender is the Flesh by @agustinabazterrica in a day, I could not put this book down no matter how disgusted I was while reading it. This has been on my TBR forever and I don’t know what processed me to pick this up finally but I’m glad I did because this story is going to stick with me. This has to be one of my favourite translated novels of all time, the writing was so clinical and detached it gave me such an eerie yet numb feeling reading it. I love a book that can make me uneasy the whole time and shock me so much I look over at the imaginary audience to see if they just read that as well. Would I recommend it? No probably not because it’s not a light subject matter to recommend and people would probably be concerned for my wellbeing if I excitedly told them to read it… but if you can stomach it (hahaha…) please read it so we can discuss.
💭: have you read this? If so what’s your opinion?

I loved this one, and I found it kind of interesting that the scene with the puppies hit me more than anything else in the book. I heard a similar sentiment from a few other people. I wonder what that says about us, as humans.

Love this book! Every time someone asks me why I’m vegan, I tell them to pick this one up!
