£, flesh by Aaron Barry
$15.00
darkly humorous and certifiably irreverent, aaron barry’s £, flesh is part revamping of albert camus’ stranger, part 21st-century zoomer manifesto. it challenges 20th-century notions of passive amorality and examines the next generation’s attitudes toward work, economics, culture, and even murder in the face of all but guaranteed global economic collapse. most crucially, though, £, flesh asks: what future does the next generation have, and what happens when they no longer play by the old rules?
“Hip, smart, and funny reading, like a cross between an old-fashioned crime caper film, an edgy teen coming-of-age story, and Trainspotting, but filtered through a uniquely Zoomer lens. Full of humour, but intelligent at the same time. This novella delights.”
— Lewis Woolston, author of The Everlasting and Other Stories
