Living Things follows four recent graduates â Munir, G,
Ernesto and Ălex â 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 protagonistâs thoughts on
literature and the nature of storytelling. Genre-bending and
dystopian, Living Things is a literary eco-thriller, a
punk-like blend of Roberto Bolaño's The Savage
Detectives and Samanta Schweblinâs Fever
Dream, and heralds an exciting new voice in international
fiction.Â
