Yeong-hye and her husband are ordinary people. He is an office worker with moderate ambitions and mild manners; she is an uninspired but dutiful wife. The acceptable flatline of their marriage is interrupted when Yeong-hye, seeking a more 'plant-like' existence, decides to become a vegetarian, prompted by grotesque recurring nightmares. In South Korea, where vegetarianism is almost unheard-of and societal mores are strictly obeyed, Yeong-hye's decision is a shocking act of subversion. Her passive rebellion manifests in ever more bizarre and frightening forms, leading her bland husband to self-justified acts of sexual sadism. His cruelties drive her towards attempted suicide and hospitalisation. She unknowingly captivates her sister's husband, a video artist. She becomes the focus of his increasingly erotic and unhinged artworks, while spiralling further and further into her fantasies of abandoning her fleshly prison and becoming - impossibly, ecstatically - a tree.Fraught, disturbing and beautiful, The Vegetarian is a novel about modern day South Korea, but also a novel about shame, desire and our faltering attempts to understand others, from one imprisoned body to another.

Compulsively readable and deeply resonant, this novel lacerates, haunts, dreams, and mourns, striking a balance between beauty and urgency. It uniquely captures the intensity of brutality, detailing a bloody history that was deliberately forgotten. The narrative speaks the unspeakable, revealing the long wake of killings through the testimonies of both survivors and the deceased, blending gorily real scenarios with beautifully surreal elements. The prose, translated by Deborah Smith, is spare yet dreamy, filled with haunting imagery that compels readers to confront the horrors of the Gwangju uprising. Han Kang's ambition parallels Milton's struggle, aiming to reconcile humanity with itself through an engrossing, relentless portrait of death and agony. The novel is not just a record of suffering during a contentious period in Korean history but also a testament to the willingness to risk discomfort for a cause. Kang excels in unflinching descriptions of death, creating a vivid portrayal of physical decay that is both admirable and challenging. Her storytelling brings historical struggles into the intimate realm of individual experience, exploring the trauma of political brutality with emotional truth. This jarring depiction of the Gwangju demonstrations raises profound questions about humanity, making it a gripping read. With her previous work awarded the Man Booker International Prize, this follow-up is poised to attract signi
