Pressured by the meat industry, governments across the world sanction the breeding and reproduction of human beings as animals for slaughter and we are gradually introduced to the inner workings of a society where cannibalism is legalized. This article seeks to analyze this dystopian narrative through the lens of capitalist realism as proposed by Mark Fisher and discuss the instrumentalization of language and the representation of gender violence in the book considering the concept of absent referent as applied by Carol J. Adams. As a work of contemporary Latin American speculative fiction, we seek to investigate the parallels the book establishes with current social configurations and reflect on social roles often associated with the dystopian genre. O livro Saboroso Cadáver, da escritora argentina Agustina Bazterrica, retrata uma sociedade em que um vírus se espalhou entre os animais de todo o planeta, tornando sua carne mortal aos humanos. Pressionados pela indústria da carne, os governos do mundo legalizam a criação e reprodução de seres humanos como animais de abate e somos gradualmente apresentados ao funcionamento de uma sociedade em que o canibalismo é legalizado. Este artigo busca analisar esta narrativa distópica a partir do conceito de realismo capitalista proposto por Mark Fisher e discutir a instrumentalização da linguagem e a representação da violência de gênero no livro à luz do conceito de referente ausente conforme aplicado por Carol J. Adams. Enquanto literatura de ficção especulativa latino-americana contemporânea, pretende-se investigar os paralelos que o livro estabelece com a configuração atual da sociedade, refletindo sobre funções sociais frequentemente associadas ao gênero distópico.
