One disaffected administrator, one disenchanted teenager, four
hundred and twenty-one vegan extremists, sixty trucks, and nine
hundred thousand grumpy layer hens awaiting liberation. In barns.
Six barns. No, wait, seven. No, wait ... Two auditors for the US
egg industry conceive a plot to liberate an entire egg farm's worth
of animals, with catastrophic results. This wildly inventive but
utterly plausible novel about a heist of a very unusual kind swirls
with a rich array of voices: a farmer's daughter, hundreds of
activists, a forest ranger who stumbles upon forty thousand hens,
and a security guard abandoned for years on a farm. We glimpse the
evolution of chickens twenty thousand years from now. We hear what
hens think happens when they die. And at the heart of this
more-than-plucky novel lies the question: what constitutes
meaningful action in a world so in need of change? With towering
ingenuity, eviscerating wit, and unflappable passion, Barn 8 is a
true rare breed, a comic-political drama, and a tour de force for
our time.
