Living Things

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Living Things follows four recent graduates - Munir, G, Ernesto and Alex - who travel from Madrid to the south of France to work the grape harvest. Except things don't go as planned: they end up working on an industrial chicken farm and living on a campsite, where a general sense of menace takes hold. What follows is a compelling and incisive examination of precarious employment, capitalism, immigration and the mass production of living things, all interwoven with the protagonist's thoughts on literature and the nature of storytelling. A genre-bending and dystopian eco-thriller, Living Things is a punk-like blend of Roberto Bolano's The Savage Detectives and Samanta Schweblin's Fever Dream, heralding an exciting new voice in international fiction.
