| Summary | A lone Japanese delegate journeys to a remote Newfoundland village, expecting to find solemn camaraderie at the global Vegetarian Grand Festival. Instead, he is thrust into a chaotic arena of clashing ideologies. Aggressive pamphlets, blaring trumpets, and bombastic pronouncements from the "Chicago Livestock Association" derail the peaceful assembly, mocking the very foundation of vegetarianism. Alongside fellow believers, he must defend their principles against a relentless barrage of critiques spanning economics, biology, and theology. As the debates escalate from intellectual sparring to unsettling theatricality, the protagonist finds himself questioning the true motives of his relentless opponents. Is this a genuine ideological battle, or something far more elaborate and unnerving? |
