There are two dragons inside of you. One hoards knowledge and the other hoards trinkets. They’re both very excited when you bring them to a museum

Woman, Eating by Claire Kohda (2022)

⁣

To say I was excited about this one would be an understatement. I put my name down at my local library, nearly buying it in the meantime, and having to remind myself to BE PATIENT.⁣

WOMAN, EATING considers, but does not always delve into, some interesting moments of self-disgust, the vulnerability of young adulthood, murky mother-daughter relationships, the desire to fit in and (of course) hunger. ⁣

Thematically this book promised to cover almost everything I like in literary fiction - slow ponderings, spec fic elements, discussions on race and gender and yet… I think it fell just a tad too short. It feels like the blurb itself doesn’t quite do this one justice - it’s a quieter novel than even the description suggests. ⁣

I thought ‘hunger’ would be the most creatively flexible way to discuss all of this, but it came up just short enough to leave me feeling a tad unsatisfied. Perhaps in this lies the point? I’m still glad I read it, and I’ll be keeping an eye on Claire Kohda’s work in future. I wouldn’t be opposed to more literary fiction vampires either 😂
