  • Summary

  • The first ever Licensed Poetics book club is a roaring success. Recurring guests Anya and Derek join BFL in the studio to discuss The Vegetarian by South Korean writer Han Kang, winner of the Man Booker Prize. This stunningly original book asks important questions: what does the pursuit of art justify? What takes away women’s autonomy? What type of tree would you like to be?
