- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the jacket:

An ambitious debut told in dazzlingly precise prose, We Eat Our Own follows an international film crew to the Amazon in the 1970s and explores the forces that underlie human violence and the faint borderline between art and life.

For his latest film, Italian pulp horror director Ugo Velluto has a radical vision—one that requires abandoning green screens to film on-site in a remote outpost in the Colombian rain forest, and keeping his actors in the dark about what the script contains.

No one is more befuddled than his lead actor, an untried American fished from a New York acting school as a last minute fill-in. Thrust into scenes beside tribal natives, Spanish-speaking locals and an Italian crew he doesn’t understand, this actor—whom Ugo insists on calling only by his character’s name, Richard—quickly realizes he’s out of his depth.

But neither Richard nor the rest of the film crew is aware of the threats lurking in the nearby town and the sprawling shadow economy that powers it—an economy spurred by an unscrupulous American expat, fueled by drugs and guerilla insurgents working in tense collaboration and unpoliced by any outside government. Even Ugo doesn’t seem to know how his crew’s arrival has thrown the town’s equilibrium dangerously out of balance.

As Ugo’s shocking demands stir tension among his cast and crew, and the secrets of the town threaten to boil over, all must decide which roles they will—and won’t—play in this daring artistic experiment gone wrong. Written with verve, intensity and a penetrating eye for the intricate politics of a regime teetering on the edge, We Eat Our Own is a resounding literary debut, a thrilling journey and a thoughtful commentary on violence and its repercussions.

- The page count is incorrect. WorldCat confirms 310: https://search.worldcat.org/title/948...

- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the back cover:

For his latest film, director Ugo Velluto has a radical vision—one that includes shooting on location in the Colombian Amazon, hiring an unknown American actor and making increasingly bizarre demands of the cast and crew. The American actor, a nameless unknown initially thrilled to be cast at all, soon realizes he’s out of his depth. But neither he nor Ugo nor the rest of the crew are quite aware of the threats lurking in the nearby town and the shadow economy that powers it, which is dependent on an uneasy collaboration between a guerrilla faction and a local cartel that goes entirely unpoliced by the government. As tensions build on set and the town’s secrets threaten to boil over, each character must decide what roles they will—and won’t—play in Ugo's artistic experiment gone wrong. Intense, provocative and engaging, We Eat Our Own is a thrilling journey through the Colombian jungle and a thoughtful commentary on violence, art and reality.

When a nameless, struggling actor in 1970s New York gets the call that an enigmatic director wants him for an art film set in the Amazon, he doesn't hesitate: he flies to South America, no questions asked. He quickly realizes he's made a mistake. He's replacing another actor who quit after seeing the script—a script the director now claims doesn't exist. The movie is over budget. The production team seems headed for a breakdown. The air is so wet that the celluloid film disintegrates.

But what the actor doesn't realize is that the greatest threat might be the town itself, and the mysterious shadow economy that powers this remote jungle outpost. Entrepreneurial Americans, international drug traffickers, and M-19 guerillas are all fighting for South America's future—and the groups aren't as distinct as you might think. The actor thought this would be a role that would change his life. Now he's worried if he'll survive it.

Inspired by a true story from the annals of 1970s Italian horror film, and told in dazzlingly precise prose, We Eat Our Own is a resounding literary debut, a thrilling journey behind the scenes of a shocking film and a thoughtful commentary on violence and its repercussions.
