27 - Join us for another drink and another happy hour discussing our February book pick The Vegetarian by Han Kang.  We begin our chat this week by adding a new liquor to our palate - we incorporate Soju, a South Korean rice liquor into this week's cocktail, a twist on a Bloody Mary:  Bloody Lady.  Using Yeong-Hye's dreams as a jumping off point, we take a deep dive into our own dreams, the cultural traditions we might be ridiculed for parting ways with, and of course, our own relationships and struggles with the foods we choose to eat. 

Chapters Discussed:  Part 1 (The Vegetarian)

Next Week:  Part 2 (Mongolian Mark)

Join us again for Happy Hour next Thursday, and follow us on Insta @AreTheseBooksDrunk for updates on our next episode & cocktail pairing so that you can read along and sip along with us!
