    You're rocking the shaved head, Juan. Thank you for reading and reviewing Dog Meat.🙂 I've been reading a lot of poetry lately. (I just finished River Dixon's Come Looking which is bleak and beautiful.) Brother Sleep sounds like a collection I need to read!

      I'm interested in reading Dog Meat and was wondering if you have read Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica? It is set in a dystopian future where all animals have caught a disease that is deadly to mankind, and meat lovers are now legally breeding human livestock to eat. It's a great novel. I look forward to reading yours.
