Description: Han Kang’s novel, The Vegetarian Winner of the International Booker Prize and the San Clemente Literary Award Rediscover Han Kang’s masterpiece that captivated the world Han Kang’s novel, The Vegetarian, which expanded the presence of Korean literature on the global stage by winning the 2016 International Booker Prize, is now re-released with a new cover, 15 years after its original publication. The novel vividly portrays the agonizing pain of a wounded soul intertwined with a powerful sense of plant-like imagination, delivered through a meticulous structure and gripping prose. This masterpiece completes a unique aesthetic of eerie beauty in Han Kang’s distinct style. The Vegetarian, which won the International Booker Prize for being “a solid, sophisticated, and shocking work that will stay in readers' minds and perhaps even in their dreams,” has garnered widespread international acclaim. The New York Times noted that it “will resonate with readers while creating ripples in the American literary world,” while The Guardian praised its “startling combination of prose that is astonishingly beautiful with content that is incredibly violent.” In 2018, the novel also won the San Clemente Literary Award in Spain, generating significant global interest. In Korea, it has sold nearly one million copies to date. The Vegetarian is a novel centered around Yeong-hye, a woman who one day begins to refuse eating meat, causing conflicts within her family. However, the novel is narrated from the perspectives of three characters surrounding Yeong-hye—her husband, brother-in-law, and sister—while Yeong-hye herself never takes on the role of an active narrator. The novel explores the violence imposed under the guise of family and patriarchy, and Yeong-hye’s resistance through fasting, shedding her animality and striving to become a tree. Her radical plant-like imagination resonates across generations of readers, creating a profound and enduring impact.
