SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 STELLA PRIZE
Can anyone smell the suffering of souls? Of sadness, of hell on earth? Hell, I
imagine, has a smell that bloats into infinity. Has a nasty sting of corpses.
What was it Dante wrote? Abandon Every Hope is a lament, a deranged
encyclopedia, and a diary of anxiety. How can anyone document the vastness of
violence against animals in a bloated industrial age?
Hayley Singer investigates the literatures of the slaughterhouse to map the
contours of a world cut to pieces by organised and profit-driven death. In her
compelling and poetic prose, Singer asks how we may write the life of the dead;
the smell of an egg factory; of multispecies PTSD; of planetary harm and
self-harm: of the horror we make on earth. Where does the slaughterhouse begin
and how can it end?
