Intriguing and original edgy atmospheric and darkly humorous Lucia Rico: I started writing
this book as a fairy tale the same way marketing makes fairy tales until we believe the
animals we eat are adorable wholesome devoted beasts with whom we have a relationship.” A
city girl inherits the family’s poultry farm when her mother dies. But when it comes to killing
the chickens she attempts to give their lives meaning by composing short biographies for each
of them therefore humanizing the meat about to be eaten. There is Theodore a free
independent and mischievous character ” and Léna the most beautiful kid with her beautiful
well-screwed crest that ends in lace.” There’s Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals Michael
Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma and Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation but never has there been
a humorous take on the topic of industrial animal processing. Fowl Eulogies is an absurd fairy
tale for the Ethical Carnivore. Fiction of perfect madness of brutal and unprecedented humor …
From the meadow to the supermarket this modern tale a dazzling first novel of mischief and
feathers brings to life the singular poetry of the industrial chicken. Originally published in
France. Rights sold to Denmark: Etcetera Serbia: Geopoetika
