To Esther, meat is beautiful. It is how she understands the world. Raised in a small industrial town built around a sprawling meat factory, she grows up in her parents’ butcher shop. As a child, she loved plunging her hand into freshly ground meat and imagining her own body as flesh that someone might one day touch as tenderly. As an adult, her life falls perfectly into place: she lands her dream job at the Factory, then marries an artificial inseminator at the town’s pig farm. Only one thing is missing: a child.
Esther longs deeply for the time when she will create flesh from her own flesh, but try as the couple do, she does not fall pregnant. As the years pass, her parents worry, her neighbours gossip, and her coworkers stare openly at her unswelling belly. But Esther’s body has plans of its own.
Deadpan, provocative, and unexpectedly humane, this is a singular literary debut exploring appetite, flesh, fertility, and the extraordinary ways our bodies shape our understanding of love, loss, and creation. With its fiercely original heroine and masterfully surreal vision, Esther, the Butcher introduces Mariia Niskavaara as a striking new voice in international literary fiction.

Kritikerstimmen
Praise for Esther, the Butcher:
“Strange, visceral, and deeply moving, Mariia Niskavaara has written a debut that burrows itself under your skin, down to the flesh, hitting some nerves, and tickling a bone or two.”
—Szilvia Molnar, author of The Nursery
“Esther, the Butcher is a captivating and delightfully absurd story about womanhood, motherhood, desire, and the highs and lows of having a body. Mariia Niskavaara is a singular voice in fiction. The prose is clean, sparse, and cuts right to the heart of the matter. This is one of the most wonderfully weird novels I've ever read. You've never met anyone quite like Esther before.”
—Katie Yee, author of Maggie; or, A Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar
“An unconventional novel, so disturbing that it evokes an irresistible pleasure.”
—Veronica Raimo, author of Lost on Me
