Han Kang

The Vegetarian - London, Granta Publications, 2024 - 183p. 18 cm.

The Vegetarian by Han Kang, which traces the dramatic consequences of Yeong-hye’s decision to stop eating meat. Her husband and most of her family react with incomprehension and even violence, while her brother-in-law, a struggling video artist, finds himself increasingly drawn to her because of her unconventional behaviour and flower-shaped birth mark. The novella is a powerful and disturbing examination of desire, sanity and the stifling pressures imposed by social conformism.
