The Vegetarian

One woman’s refusal ignites a quiet rebellion within and around her.

Yeong-hye’s decision to stop eating meat seems simple at first, but it triggers a cascade of tension, obsession, and alienation in her family and society. Through her quiet rebellion, Han Kang examines the fragility of identity, the limits of societal conformity, and the destructive forces of repression. Each chapter peels back layers of human desire, cruelty, and longing with poetic yet unsettling precision.

The novel explores themes of autonomy, mental health, and the body as a site of resistance, using vivid imagery and surreal moments to capture the psychological turmoil beneath the surface of everyday life. It is haunting, deeply emotional, and impossible to forget.
