The Vegetarian by Han Kang

The Vegetarian

A haunting, visceral, and profoundly unsettling masterpiece of contemporary Korean literature — The Vegetarian by Nobel Prize-winning author Han Kang. Winner of the International Booker Prize, this extraordinary novel follows an ordinary Seoul housewife whose sudden, inexplicable decision to stop eating meat sets off a chain of devastating consequences that spiral far beyond her control.

About the Book

• A triptych of three interconnected novellas told from three different perspectives — each one drawing the reader deeper into the mind of Yeong-hye, a woman determined to refuse the violence of the world, even at the cost of her own existence
• Explores themes of bodily autonomy, patriarchal control, conformity, trauma, and the terrifying cost of individuality in a society that demands compliance
• Han Kang's prose is spare, precise, and devastatingly beautiful — moving between the domestic and the surreal with extraordinary control
• A meditation on what it means to resist, to refuse, and to dissolve — and on the violence that ordinary life conceals beneath its surface
• Translated into English by the award-winning translator Deborah Smith
