If you like disturbing books that leave you asking yourself.. pardon my French what the #$@^ did I just read? This is for you.

This novel was translated in 2020 which is ironic because this story takes place in a dystopian universe of your human world, where a disease eradicated our food supply and pets.

SPOILERS AHEAD.

Our main character Marcos is a vegan living in world where all the animals have basically died off because of a disease so people have to either become cannibals or vegans, his wife is having an affair with a butcher after the death of their infant son which she is not able to have more children, on top of the fact that due to his father’s dementia he has to run a slaughter house.

He decides in a moment of desperation in what seems to be compassion steal one of the cattle. A young woman.. barely out of her teens, he rapes her..and grooms her, the woman starts to care for him.. and he only want one thing from her. Something his wife can no longer give him.

This novel is disturbing in the worst way, it messes with your mind thinking he is a good man, he cares and somehow still has his humanity but its all a lie.

I read this book in 2021.. I still think about it 5 years later, it is not a long read at all, it the psychology of humans that disturb me the most, how wicked humans can be towards each other, how easily they can get rid of such things that makes them human.

This is an amazing story and I think every human adult should read it like catcher in the rye necessary read. Because it questions your moral code to the max what would you do if you were in his shoes.

The feline is as distributed as me when he read this novel he gives it 5 toe beans.

Go read it. You won’t be disappointed
