摘要
This interview explores the role of environmentalism - specifically as it relates to meat and agriculture - in the literature of South African writer Eben Venter. As discussed in the interview, Venter's novel Trencherman, through its envisioning of a post-apocalyptic South Africa, serves as an especially productive text for examining the interplay of colonialism and ecological violence.
