Sometimes a book is just okay.
There was subtle commentary on racism and the concept of "race" in general, but I think I would have enjoyed further exploration into themes of that and colonisation (briefly touched on with the character of Urlet) which feel only lightly explored within the narrative.
Don't listen to people on reddit though, this book is much better than the mess which is D'Lacey's 'Meat'. 'Tender is the Flesh' is a much more convincing and realistic narrative than the superhuman powers of vegetarianism that 'Meat' presents. 'Tender is the Flesh' dually has a much greater ideological depth and narrative than D'Lacey's self-aggrandising and shallow narrative on the horrors of the contemporary meat industry.
