The Meatpackers Book Club

Imagine a book club where the members wield bloody hacksaws for a living and discussions about literature break out in fistfights. It’s the Meatpackers Book Club. To rise above the raw gore of their daily lives, clever Harry, tough guy Red, one-armed Augustus, and lone female meatpacker Tiny discuss Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, The Life of Pi, and the proper way to hack animal carcasses. Meanwhile, a love triangle is evolving and something very
strange and troubling is going on in Sector 8 of the meatpacking plant. With all of this action and with all these worlds are colliding, it’s really
difficult to get a meaningful literary discussion going.
