Agustina Bazterrica is an Argentine writer known for her work in the 'feminist horror' genre, particularly her 2017 dystopian novel 'Tender is the Flesh' about industrialized cannibalism. She is the recipient of multiple literary prizes and 'Tender is the Flesh' is now being adapted for the screen. Agustina's most recent novel is 'The Unworthy,' set in a post-apocolytpic world ravaged by the climate crisis, where young women in a convent must do terrible things to survive. In this chat, we talk about the importance of language as a political act, the creative process, and how some dystopian "futures" are happening right now.
