No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
An unforgettably exuberant and potent novel by a writer at the height of her powersTwo auditors for the U.S. egg industry go rogue and conceive a plot to steal a million chickens in the middle of the nightโan entire egg farmโs worth of animals. Janey and Clevelandโa spirited former runaway and the officious head of auditsโassemble a precarious, quarrelsome team and descend on the farm on a dark spring evening. A series of catastrophes ensues.
Deb Olin Unferthโs wildly inventive novel is a heist story of a very unusual sort. Swirling with a rich array of voices,Barn 8takes readers into the minds of these renegades: a farmerโs daughter, a former director of undercover investigations, hundreds of activists, a forest ranger who suddenly comes upon forty thousand hens, and a security guard who is left on an empty farm for years. There are glimpses twenty thousand years into the future to see what chickens might evolve into on our contaminated planet. We hear what hens think happens when they die. In the end the cracked hearts of these indelible characters, their earnest efforts to heal themselves, and their radical actions will lead them to ruin or revelation.
Funny, whimsical, philosophical, and heartbreaking,Barn 8ultimately asks: What constitutes meaningful action in a world so in need of change? Unferth comes at this question with striking ingenuity, razor-sharp wit, and ferocious passion.Barn 8is a rare comic-political drama, a tour de force for our time.
