A review by remilauren
The Vegetarian by Han Kang

A slim book with a long list of trigger elements.

I've no clue on what made me read this. I don't claim to have understood the book perfectly. But I know I hated the douche-bag men and could sympathize with the sister. The familial relationships were so disturbing, I hope that's not the norm of the Korean society. I'm also really surprised at how badly their society seems to treat their vegetarians. Lots of stronger elements beyond these, and each one added a sense of foreboding to the tale.

But beyond that, I don't really understand it, so I'm refraining from rating. Hope to understand the deeper nuances at a later point in life.
