This brand-new softcover edition is unopened and unread. The Vegetarian by Han Kang is a haunting exploration of bodily autonomy, mental health, and the consequences of defying societal norms. When Yeong-hye, a woman living in Seoul, stops eating meat after a series of disturbing dreams, her seemingly simple choice sparks a profound unraveling of her identity and relationships. Told in three parts from the perspectives of her husband, brother-in-law, and sister, the novel offers a layered portrait of repression, resistance, and transformation.
