Ruth Ozeki
A cross-cultural tale of two women brought together by the intersections of television and industrial agriculture, fertility and motherhood, life and loveâ€”the breakout hit by the celebrated author of ,A Tale for the Time Being,Ruth Ozekiâ€™s mesmerizing debut novel has captivated readers and reviewers worldwide. When documentarian Jane Takagi-Little finally lands a job producing a Japanese television show that just happens to be sponsored by an American meat-exporting business, she uncovers some unsavory truths about love, fertility, and a dangerous hormone called DES. Soon she will also cross paths with Akiko Ueno, a beleaguered Japanese housewife struggling to escape her overbearing husband. ,Hailed by ,USA Today, as â€œrare and provocativeâ€ and awarded the Kirayama Prize for Literature of the Pacific Rim, ,My Year of Meats, is a modern-day take on Upton Sinclairâ€™s ,The Jungle, for fans of Michael Pollan, Margaret Atwood, and Barbara Kingsolver.
