When Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vermont, announced that two oxen called Bill and Lou would be killed and turned into hamburgers despite their years of service as unofficial college and town mascots, Pattrice Jones and her colleagues at nearby VINE Sanctuary offered an alternative scenario: to allow the elderly bovines to retire to the sanctuary. What transpired after this simple offer was a catastrophe of miscommunication, misdirection, and misinterpretations, as the college dug in its heels, activists piled on, and social media erupted. Part true-crime mystery, part on-the-ground reportage, and part sociocultural critique, The Oxen at the Intersection is a brilliant unearthing of the assumptions, preconceptions, and biases that led all concerned with the lives and deaths of these two animals to fail to achieve their ends.

Em uma obra em que o ouvinte é levado constantemente a questionar o que lhe é apresentado, Delphine de Vigan constrói um clima confessional, sombrio e opressivo para expor a obsessão do mercado editorial e do cinema pelas narrativas baseadas em fatos reais.

Um audiolivro brilhante, que joga com os códigos da autoficção e do thriller psicológico.
