Woman, Eating by Claire Kohda

dark sad slow-paced

3.0

the most dreary vampire story ever. this vampire is young, just turned adult and so she is not dracula level rich yet. she doesnt even earn money yet. she just started working as an intern at an art gallery. she is weak-willed, sluggish, and constantly hungry. she only consumes pig blood and when she fails to buy one for the first time (her vampire mother did this task for her before), she just sort of gives up. no hunting, no checking the grocery store, nada. she just went on sniffing the first guy who befriended her, stayed home and binge-watched "what i eat in a day" videos on youtube then imagined eating all the food she cant ever eat.

however, even though the main character herself was dull, the narration was rich in detail. it was hypnotic. this story is a meditation on art, solitude, identity, and life. cant decide if i enjoyed it.
