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. Genre-bending and dystopian, Living Things is a literary eco-thriller, a punk-like blend of Roberto Bolaño's The Savage Detectives and Samanta Schweblin’s Fever Dream, and heralds an exciting new voice in international fiction. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43105046593580,"sku":"9781804270875","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781804270875_2a9974a5-30c2-4b57-b6a2-f1e3ddf1eba8.jpg?v=1713024614","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/living-things","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
