Tongue (Paperback)

By Kyung-Ran Jo
$14.00

Her first novel to be translated from Korean, Tongue is the story of a professional chef's heartbreak and eventual revenge on her ex-boyfriend, who dumped her for a model taking his girlfriend's cooking classes. Quoting from Jessa Crispin's NPR piece, "Although Tongue is filled with cooking techniques and food trivia — and even includes a history of restaurants — it's really about living in the wake of disappointment and about how people's lives are reflected in their eating." Great, creepy read.
