We Eat Our Own: A Novel

An ambitious debut novel by an original young writer, We Eat Our Own blurs the lines between life and art with the story of a film directorâ€™s unthinkable experiment in the Amazon.

When a nameless, struggling actor in 1970s New York gets the call that an enigmatic director wants him for an art film set in the Amazon, he doesnâ€™t hesitate: he flies to South America, no questions asked. He quickly realizes heâ€™s made a mistake. Heâ€™s replacing another actor who quit after seeing the scriptâ€”a script the director now claims doesnâ€™t exist. The movie is over budget. The production team seems headed for a breakdown. The air is so wet that the celluloid film disintegrates.

But what the actor doesnâ€™t realize is that the greatest threat might be the town itself, and the mysterious shadow economy that powers this remote jungle outpost. Entrepreneurial Americans, international drug traffickers, and M-19 guerillas are all fighting for South Americaâ€™s futureâ€”and the groups arenâ€™t as distinct as you might think. The actor thought this would be a role that would change his life. Now heâ€™s worried if heâ€™ll survive it.

Inspired by a true story from the annals of 1970s Italian horror film, and told in dazzlingly precise prose, We Eat Our Own is a resounding literary debut, a thrilling journey behind the scenes of a shocking film and a thoughtful commentary on violence and its repercussions.
