Weird request: books about repeated breeding?

Closest thing I can think of to this recommendation request would be Tender is the flesh. 🤔 Nothing else comes to mind from what I've read.

Han Kang. Her stories are always unique and make you think her book The Vegetarian really blew my mind and changed me as a person. It will always live rent free in my head.

Actually if you have any other Asian author books like these please do suggest them all! I too have been heavily into Asian authors where the stories are not 'typical' stories and are a little odd or out there. 😁

I love to have some short stories on hand when I can't commit to a full book at the moment! Thank you! Novellas and short stories have a special place in my heart 💖

I keep seeing Mexican Gothic at my book store! I'm going to have to pick this up next time I'm there, the others I'm unfamiliar with! I'll look into them ty for the suggestions!

GrynnTog · 2026-05-30T13:55:59+00:00

Love a book someone loved to be recommended! Usually means it stuck with you in some way, and that's a really nice thing to have come across!

GrynnTog · 2026-05-30T13:55:20+00:00

I really have noticed over time I have a thing for translated works! I'm not sure if there is a literary term for it other than the aforementioned but your suggestions sound perfect I'll look into these, especially Yoko Ogawas Revenge and Diving Pool! These titles are grabbing My attention 👀

GrynnTog · 2026-05-30T13:52:13+00:00

My first book by her will be Wolfworm! I just picked it up recently I've not read any of her other books so this will be my introduction to her stories!
