The Story
The Vegetarian is the internationally acclaimed novel by Han Kang, celebrated for its sparse, lyrical prose and its disturbing exploration of the inner lives of its characters. Told in three distinct parts from the perspective of different people close to Yeong-hye, the narrative tracks her gradual withdrawal from the human world as her vegetarianism morphs into a desire to become a plant. The novel functions as a chilling piece of domestic horror novel and psychological novel translation.
