The Vegetarian by Han Kang

188 Pages, Published In 2007

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Winner of the 2016 Man Booker International Prize, The Vegetarian is a haunting psychological novel about personal rebellion, transformation, and the consequences of nonconformity. Each of its three chapters is told from the perspective of a family member around the female protagonist. Captivating opening line: “Before my wife turned vegetarian, I thought of her as completely unremarkable in every way.” Loved the first two chapters, but the last one felt a little dull and predictable.
