quite bizarre piece of writing, finished it few days ago and can't really wrap my head around it. i definitely keep on thinking about it. i loved the beginning and i thought it was so intruging and it was what i expected it to be, an exploration of consequences that come when husband's wife decides to become a vegetarian but throughout the book it gets more twisted, bizarre, weird and starts shifting to a completely different narrative and topics. i don't know if i loved that. it was for sure an interesting read but as i said bizarre.

Wow…I read it mostly in one sitting…I’m blown away… This was a shocking read, from the animal abuse to the sexual violence, to the mental illness… As a vegan…this was certainly interesting. How do we live with the guilt of harming/eating animals? with being human and all that that entails? with the violence inflicted upon us—especially from men abusing their power under the patriarchy? Lots to think about………..
