The narrative intricately weaves themes of autonomy, mental health, and the oppressive nature of societal expectations. As Yeong-hye embraces her vegetarianism, her family reacts with confusion and hostility, reflecting the patriarchal values entrenched in Korean culture. Her husband, Mr. Cheong, perceives her choice as a personal affront, while her sister In-hye struggles with feelings of responsibility for Yeong-hye’s decline into madness.

“The Vegetarian stands as a significant work in contemporary literature, highlighting the profound implications of choices and rebellion against cultural norms.”

The Book Guide® Editor

Through vivid imagery and poignant language, Kang captures the visceral impact of Yeong-hye’s rebellion against a world that demands conformity, making her journey not just about dietary choices but a profound commentary on the human condition and the quest for self-identity

Since there are no computers, the essential working of the galaxy is still medieval and feudal with heavy reliance on men and their dallying around. Lots of thriller potential right there. Men with superhuman analytical abilities called Mentats have taken the place of Computers.
