Jerry's Vegan Women is a fun, poignant, and occasionally steamy collection of fictional stories that follows the adventures of Jerry Zuckerman as he makes his way through the shelters, sanctuaries, and bedrooms of an eclectic assortment of vegan women. The book begins with Jerry as a sixth grader who has never given any thought about the welfare of animals or the food he eats. But his chance encounters with vegan women - friends, lovers, acquaintances, and colleagues - change all that. The book is by no means a vegan manifesto. Rather, it reveals the virtues, imperfections, and idiosyncrasies of those who choose the meat-free lifestyle. And, it explores universal themes such as love, work, and most of all, the search for identity and meaning. It's a journey that both herbivores and omnivores will enjoy.

Cryer With "Jerry’s Vegan Women," Ben Shaberman establishes a thought-provoking new genre, the semi-autobiographical vegetarian anthology. Jerry Zuckerman, Shaberman’s evident alter ego, begins his story like many a junior high student in the 1970s Midwest would, listening to a jukebox and chowing down on a hamburger at the local sandwich shop. This is when one of Jerry’s classmates introduces him to an entirely foreign concept for Vietnam-era Cleveland Heights, the decision to eliminate meat from her diet.From there, Jerry takes his readers through nine chapters chronicling his interactions with females whose lives are affected somehow by vegetarianism or animal rights. The scenarios range from the educational to the professional to the erotic, with times when the females influence his views on vegetarianism and others when he shapes theirs. There are the humorous, and there are the heartbreaking. Each provides insight into the vegetarian movement, the complexities of male-female relationships, Shaberman’s personal idiosyncrasies, or all of the above.Any vegetarian adult would appreciate this quick and amiable read, but so would many non-vegetarians. Shaberman employs a casual, accessible writing style that works well for semi-autobiographical storytelling, and most readers will relate to at least one, if not more, of his anecdotes. After all, even the most fervent carnivore has partied too hard in college, weathered office politics, or engaged in an awkward discussion with a 10-year-old. In that way, "Jerry’s Vegan Women" is a fitting literary choice for readers adhering to any dietary philosophy, whether they are flying to a vegetarian conference in Portland or just lounging on Rehoboth Beach.

By David Pace Jerry is the kind of guy that might just convince me that I could be a vegan . . . or at least a vegetarian. . . okay, maybe only a part-time vegetarian. He is warm-blooded, warm-hearted (though neurotic in a lovable way) and he has more allergies, especially to pets than a Whole Foods has sandal-wearing goofs crowding the tofu bar. Each of the chapters in “Jerry’s Vegan Women” is named after a woman, or in some cases a girl (and later, someone who is neither a woman nor girl . . . shh!) who has some connection to our hero’s conversation to and advocacy for living an animal-product free life. But the book isn’t just a bunch of dry, BBC profiles on his heady interactions with females. Shaberman brilliantly weaves the quotidian life of an American male through veganism–or is it the other way around? Is it a polemic? Hardly. Do omnivores learn a lot about veganism, sort of. It’s a sexy, blunt, sometimes profane and funny grouping of connected stories in which Jerry finds his “boys,” grows up, deals with his hilarious respiratory and skin reactions to dog and cat dander while trying his damndest to eat “right” and make the world a better place. Oh, and he’s also very interested in getting laid. (You’ll have to read the book to get those details.)

The book shows the perspective and challenges of a vegan man in our society, but it does so in a comical way.There's just enough exposition on the cause, which is helpful for the uninformed non vegan reader. But the stories are hilarious and uncanny to the vegan reader, particularly male. Both vegan and non vegan will find Jerry's experiences entertaining. There are some chapters (Mandi comes to mind) that are just hilarious. Overall, these stories accomplish two important things: 1) expose how much of a culture veganism really is and the challenges that come along with the lifestyle, 2) exposes the young male quest for love. I really was rooting for Jerry and Gail from the beginning. The end of this book is very satisfying, but I won't give anything away. My only question: Who is the young woman on the cover?
