英文简介:
Gabriela Menchaca and Edwin Saucedo are hardworking, undocumented employees at the Detmer Foods chicken plant in Springdale, Arkansas, just a stone’s throw from the trailer park where they’ve lived together for seven years.
While dealing with personal tragedies of their own, the young couple endures the brutal, dehumanizing conditions at the plant in exchange for barebones pay.
When the plant manager, Luke Jackson, fires Edwin to set an example for the rest of the workers–and to show the higherups that he’s ready for a major promotion–Edwin is determined to get revenge on Luke and his wife, Mimi, a new mother who stays at home with her six-month-old son.
Edwin’s impulsive action sets in motion a devastating chain of events that illuminates the deeply entrenched power dynamics between those who revel at the top and those who toil at the bottom.
From the nationally bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author of Don’t Know Tough and Ozark Dogs comes another edge-of-your-seat noir thriller that exposes the dark, bloody heart of life on the margins in the American South and the bleak underside of a bygone American Dream.
“Taut, harrowing, and charged with profound insight, Broiler pushes four unforgettable characters to the brim.
What happens when hard work isn’t enough? Exploring class, ambition, mobility, and desire, Eli Cranor uses bolts of linguistic electricity to show how the things we want can sometimes blind us.
“–Danya Kukafka, author of Notes on an Execution
中文简介:
加布里埃拉·门查卡 (Gabriela Menchaca) 和埃德温·索塞多 (Edwin Saucedo) 是阿肯色州斯普林代尔 Detmer Foods 鸡肉工厂的勤劳无证员工,距离他们一起生活了七年的拖车公园仅一箭之遥。
这对年轻夫妇在处理自己的个人悲剧时,忍受着工厂残酷、非人性的条件,以换取微薄的工资。
当工厂经理卢克·杰克逊解雇埃德温,为其他工人树立榜样,并向上级表明他已准备好获得重大晋升时,埃德温决心向卢克和他的妻子咪咪报仇,一位新妈妈和她六个月大的儿子呆在家里。
埃德温的冲动行为引发了一系列毁灭性的事件,揭示了那些享乐于上层的人和那些在底层劳作的人之间根深蒂固的权力动态。
荣获全国畅销书、埃德加奖的《不知道艰难》和《黑钱狗》的作者又创作了一部令人坐立不安的黑色惊悚小说,揭露了美国南部边缘生活的黑暗、血腥的核心和阴暗的底面。
过去的美国梦。
“肉鸡紧张、痛苦,充满深刻的洞察力,将四个令人难忘的角色推向边缘。
当努力工作还不够时会发生什么?伊莱·克拉诺探索阶级、野心、流动性和欲望,用语言的闪电来展示如何我们想要的东西有时会让我们失明。
”——丹尼娅·库卡夫卡,《处决笔记》的作者
