This dystopic future seems all to real & plausible- which made it difficult to read at times. The food & cooking imagery is what kept me reading as the story unfolded slowly.

This short big runs deep and wide. It’s a lot of things… Dystopia, Socio-political commentary, Satire, Gastro Horror, Loss of a Mother story, and a cautionary tale regarding climate collapse, how we change food and food changes us and change is inevitable.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Violence, Lesbophobia, Grief, Adult/minor relationship, Alcoholism, Death of parent, Toxic relationship, Toxic friendship, Gaslighting, Forced institutionalization, Fatphobia, Classism, Vomit, Sexual content, Pandemic/Epidemic, Confinement, Sexual violence, Racism, Emotional abuse, Cultural appropriation, Animal death, Animal cruelty, Eating disorder, Cannibalism, and Colonisation
It’s not as bad as the content warnings might suggest but it tries to be for brief moments. Is this why Ron Charles hated this book? I enjoyed it
