A história recente do país tem sido traçada com fios frágeis e sinaliza tempos sombrios. Nesse contexto conturbado, a obra do Jardiel Silva comparece de modo oportuno no debate atual e o que apresenta salta de um percurso alinhado à educação em Palmeira dos Índios para as margens da educação alagoana e brasileira. Fruto de uma exaustiva pesquisa documental, este livro recupera cinco décadas (1964-2014) da gestão na Escola Estadual Monsenhor Macedo e através da memória social reconstitui no processo histórico não apenas os aspectos específicos desse trajeto, mas também, e especialmente, o emaranhado de sua relação com a história do Estado de Alagoas e do país.
Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans—though no one calls them that anymore. His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the “Transition.” Now, eating human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing. Then one day he’s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.

We learn the surprising truth of the three men’s death in the final chapter; the build-up to it is riveting.”—The Times (London) "Piñeiro builds up tension through banal, domestic details a...
