The Books Briefing: The Wellness Dystopia Kate Cray
In the author Chang-rae Lee’s novel
My Year Abroad, a man travels to China to peddle a dubiously effective but very addictive health drink to wellness-obsessed consumers. The story is fiction, but the desire to buy your way to health is real. Think of the popularity of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop brand, which has grown into an empire complete with a TV show and a series of books, all promoting the idea that well-being can be purchased. The genius of Lee’s novel is in how it reveals the unhealthiness of that idea, exposing our exorbitant, unending appetite to consume.
