Beginner's Microbiome: A story about a man who changes what he eats

Joe Beginner experiments with diet, observes changes in his gut, and makes tiny discoveries in the beauty of everyday life. Written in the form of an autobiographical novella, Beginner's Microbiome is about more than just diet. This book is about our sometimes strange, often funny, relationship to food.

Fans of Karl Ove Knausgaard's poetry of the mundane, Marie Kondo's spirituality of the domestic, or John D. MacDonald's simple affection for dogs, cats, and daily life, should check out Joe Beginner. Marta Smit's black-and-white illustrations are bold and beautiful representations of moments in the everyday.
