A woman decides to become a vegetarian because she is uncomfortable with her body. Her husband doesn't like the idea, so he suggests that she eat meat at work instead. He says this would be fine if it helped him lose weight or alleviate certain physical ailments. The writer responds by saying "Tii ain't like you drink, take, you put the har in your drink"
How could a dream upend your life? Would you stop eating meat? Embark on a ruinous affair? Desert your family?
Han Kang's The Vegetarian asks visceral questions about our capacity for violence and what'd be willing to give up to be rid of it.
Our new theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
