A book that’s been very much in the news lately because it’s author Han Kang won the 2024 Nobel Prize for Literature. ‘The Vegetarian’ is a short immensely readable book that I thoroughly enjoyed. It is a powerful take on what society deems as normal and what it considers deviant. A story with women as central characters who deal with crushing expectations that fuel their growing rebellions. The setting in Korean society offers a glimpse into a cultural milieu that we are not often exposed to. Highly recommended.
