Yeong-hye is an ordinary wife leading a seemingly normal life until she makes the drastic decision to become a vegetarian, triggered by unsettling nightmares. Her choice, seemingly trivial, causes an uproar within her family and exposes the oppressive nature of South Korean patriarchal society. Told through three different perspectives, The Vegetarian delves into bodily autonomy, hidden desires, and the consequences of silent rebellion. Haunting yet mesmerizing, this novel is a thought-provoking exploration of violence, obsession, and the fragility of self-control.
A surreal, haunting, and deeply unsettling novel that explores the limits of human desire, autonomy, and rebellion.
A hypnotic and unsettling novel about one woman’s quiet rebellion against societal norms, told with poetic intensity and psychological depth.
