Barn 8

by Deb Olin Unferth

In the deviously imaginative 'Barn 8', auditors Janey and Cleveland defy their mundane roles in the U.S. egg industry to execute a wild plan: the liberation of one million chickens. Alongside a makeshift team riddled with idiosyncrasies, they pinpoint an egg farm as their target and set forth under the veil of night. The ensuing chaos begets a series of unforeseen events that delve into the personal tales and potential futures of liberated creatures and their would-be saviors. Through a kaleidoscope of voices—human and hen alike—the narrative explores the souls of those drawn into the fray, untangling aspirations and mishaps in a poignant quest for redemption. Embracing humor, philosophy, and the tragic, 'Barn 8' ponders the weight of meaningful action amidst a world clamoring for change, delivering an idiosyncratic mix of comedy and political drama penned with fierce intellect and intense fervor.
