Living Things

Living Things follows four recent graduates Munir, G, Ernesto and lex who travel from Madrid to the south of France to work the grape harvest. Except things dont 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 protagonists thoughts on literature and the nature of storytelling. A genre-bending and dystopian eco-thriller, Living Things is a punk-like blend of Roberto Bolaos The Savage Detectives and Samanta Schweblins Fever Dream, heralding an exciting new voice in international fiction.
