Enjoy is the wrong word to use for Tender is the Flesh but I can't think of anything better right now. I was completely captivated by Bazterrica's writing as well as the grotesqueness and horror of the story. It was incredibly thought provoking and I will be thinking about this book for a very long time. The exploration of what people will do to justify atrocities as well as language was incredible.
