What connects capitalism and everything else? Meat. Julia Madsen’s language sees the reasons and hears the reasons. Her language divines the traces remaining in the rust-blooded wake of the reasons.

It is a powerful book and I am grateful it is in the world. - Selah Saterstrom, author of Slab and Ideal Suggestions
