Tears of the Trufflepig is a 2019 novel by writer Fernando A. Flores. Though it is not Flores' first published book, it is his first novel.[1] The novel is set in a future where normal, farmed food is scarce and the rich survive through the use of "filtered" animals and plants, created artificially.[2] "Filtered" animals tend to be extinct taxa, restored to life to serve as food, clothing, or entertainment.[3]
