Read this within a day, because I had the time and because it absolutely captivated me. The story is told in 3 segments, one incredibly intriguing, one incredibly sexy and one incredibly terrifying. From different points of view they tell the story of a woman who follows a dream and converts to radical vegetarianism, which is only the first step in her transformation.

Part Kafka's Die Verwandlung, part Greenaway'sThe Pillow Book, part Sartre's Nauseau.
