Almost missed this amidst Canuck Fever, but the Vancouver Public Library has announced that My Year of Meats by Ruth Ozeki has been selected for Vancouver's city-wide book club. Here's the description from the OBOV website:
Jane, an American filmmaker, is hired by a beef lobbying group to make television shows for the Japanese market. As she grows more familiar with her subject, she becomes increasingly alarmed by the beef industry's unethical practices and sets out to sabotage the program. She is joined by Akiko, the wife of Jane's boss in Japan. Together they plot to expose the meat industry's hazardous practices.One Book, One Vancouver: About the Book
