Thanks toAnna Balasi of Hachette Books, I am giving away three copies of this book.
This isn’t just any regular giveaway, this one is very close to my heart! As most of my regular readers know, I take my animal loving very seriously and am a vegan because of it. I don’t preach about it but I would love to give this book away to anybody who is interested. Therefore, no matter how many entries there are, there will be 3 winners, unless there are less than 3 entries. LOL!
Book Description:
Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his teenage and college years oscillating between omnivore and vegetarian. But on the brink of fatherhood-facing the prospect of having to make dietary choices on a child’s behalf-his casual questioning took on an urgency His quest for answers ultimately required him to visit factory farms in the middle of the night, dissect the emotional ingredients of meals from his childhood, and probe some of his most primal instincts about right and wrong. Brilliantly synthesizing philosophy, literature, science, memoir and his own detective work, Eating Animals explores the many fictions we use to justify our eating habits-from folklore to pop culture to family traditions and national myth-and how such tales can lull us into a brutal forgetting. Marked by Foer’s profound moral ferocity and unvarying generosity, as well as the vibrant style and creativity that made his previous books, Everything is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, widely loved, Eating Animals is a celebration and a reckoning, a story about the stories we’ve told-and the stories we now need to tell.
