“From the very first words of Argentine novelist Agustina Bazterrica’s second novel, Tender Is the Flesh, the reader is already livestock in the line, staggering, primally aware that this book is a slaughterhouse, and nothing that follows will be pretty.” — The New York Times Book Review.
“Horrifyingly effective. […] This provocative novel masterfully wields a double-edged knife.” — The Guardian.
“At what price is a world without animals viable? That is the question posed by Argentine author Agustina Bazterrica. […] With art perfectly calibrated with irony, she presents a stunning portrait of a humanity willing to do anything to satisfy itself, even at its own expense.” — Le Monde.
“A major novel, whose action unfolds within a dense, hypnotic atmosphere in which the reader is trapped from the very first lines, as if they were one of its characters.” — Juan José Millás.
