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 Bola�o's�The Savage Detectives�and�Samanta Schweblin's�Fever Dream, heralding an exciting�new voice in international fiction.�
