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 Bolaño’s The Savage Detectives and Samanta Schweblin’s Fever Dream, heralding an exciting new voice in international fiction. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cobham Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56724752957826,"sku":"9781804270875","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/4567\/2367\/files\/9781804270875.jpg?v=1782120250","url":"https:\/\/www.cobhambooks.com\/products\/9781804270875","provider":"Cobham Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
