More about the book
The graphic novel adaptation vividly illustrates the struggles of immigrants in Chicago's early 20th-century meatpacking industry, highlighting their harsh realities and exploitation. Upton Sinclair's original 1906 novel not only exposed these injustices but also spurred significant social change, including the Pure Food and Drug Act. Kristina Gehrmann's adaptation revitalizes Sinclair's powerful narrative through striking illustrations, offering readers a fresh perspective on themes of labor and food safety that remain relevant today.
