Socrates Cafe Tokyo Meetup Group

My Year of Meats is a 1998 satirical debut novel by Ruth Ozeki that connects Japanese and American cultures through a shared medium: a TV cooking show sponsored by the meat industry

Lets meet for deep discussion on this book and its core themes of consumerism, globalization, patriarchal gender roles, and the complexities of cultural identity.

It is relatively old, so hopefully not too difficult to find copy.

We will find a place on the grass to sit, so please bring a rug or chair to sit should you wish.

There's no requirement to have read the book, we do a short summary at the start. You can come just for the discussion or some big talk!

We hope you can borrow this book from your local library.

It is also available in PDF here:
