"Woman, Eating" is a captivating novel that has been recognized with numerous awards and accolades. It was named a Best Book of the Year by Harper's Bazaar, BBC, The New Yorker, Glamour, Gal-Dem, and HuffPost. The book is praised for its witty and thought-provoking narrative, as well as its stunning stylist, blistering glamour, unusual, original, and strikingly contemporary nature.
The story revolves around Lydia, a young woman who is unable to digest anything except blood. Despite her hunger for the food her Japanese father enjoyed, she cannot bring herself to prey on humans. Instead, she struggles to find fresh pigs' blood in London, where she is living away from her Malaysian-British mother for the first time and trying to build a career as an artist.
Through her exploration of Lydia's inner world, the pain and longing she feels as an outsider, and the profound meditation on alienation and appetite, "Woman, Eating" offers a delicious and thought-provoking novel. Claire Kohda's writing is praised for its acute level of intensity and awareness, and the book has been compared to the work of Stoker, who did for the vampire at the end of the nineteenth century.
"Woman, Eating" is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a gripping contemporary fable, as well as those who are interested in exploring the complexities of identity, culture, and the human condition. Its unique and compelling narrative will leave readers eagerly anticipating Kohda's future works.
