Han Kang was born in Gwangju, South Korea, and moved to Seoul at the age of ten. She studied Korean literature at Yonsei University. Her writing has won the Yi Sang Literary Prize, the Today's Young Artist Award, and the Korean Literature Novel Award. The Vegetarian, her first novel to be translated into English, was published by Portobello Books in 2015. Human Acts was published by Portobello books in 2016. She currently teaches creative writing at the Seoul Institute of the Arts.
Yeong-hye and her husband are ordinary people. He is an office worker with moderate ambitions and mild manners; she is an uninspired but dutiful wife. The acceptable flatline of their marriage is interrupted when Yeong-hye, seeking a more ‘plant-like’ existence, commits a shocking act of subversion. As her rebellion manifests in ever more bizarre and frightening forms, Yeong-hye spirals further and further into her fantasies of abandoning her fleshly prison and becoming – impossibly, ecstatically – a tree. Fraught, disturbing, and beautiful, The Vegetarian is a novel about modern day South Korea, but also a novel about shame, desire, and our faltering attempts to understand others, from one imprisoned body to another.

非常失望。带着许多期盼去了半小时车程以外的邻镇图书馆才找到了这本书。然而非常得失望。整个故事很朦胧,大段的心理描写,以及荒诞的情节,似乎想给人一种冲击力,然而读起来却很不真实,跟一场梦一样,很难让我产生代入感和共鸣。总而言之,这不是我读了推荐以后所期待的那个故事。
评分第二段很精彩 我觉得这和海边卡夫卡一样借把古希腊的故事赋予现代性 按照Either/Or里的说法 古代悲剧与现代悲剧的区别 sorrow/pain, generality/individuality, relative/absolute,disclosure/concealment
评分We’re always told to follow the norms, to fill our roles, to obey orders, but seldom get respected let alone understood for who we are and what we truly want.

评分Surprisingly erotic. Loved the poetic proses and thought-provoking plots.
