A beautiful, unsettling novel about rebellion and taboo, violence and eroticism, and the twisting metamorphosis of a soul
Â
Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreamsâ€”invasive images of blood and brutalityâ€”torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. Itâ€™s a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice thatâ€™s become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself.
Â
Celebrated by critics around the world, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one womanâ€™s struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.
