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.
@03/11/2017 这也能得Booker Prize........第一部分有点点魔幻的感觉,第三部分精神病院的描写好像村上春树的感觉。还是喜欢第一部分丈夫那种叙述的语气。改编的电影真是弱爆了,秒变韩国伦理剧。
评分bizarre .. dark...twisted..
评分i don't get the koreans. very korean and (to me) very strange. lots of sexism lots of "what women should do".
评分This eerily bizarre novella is stylishly divided into three acts, each sending out a completely different vibe.
评分"I can only trust my breasts now. I like my breasts; nothing can be killed by them. Hand, foot, tongue, gaze, all weapons from which nothing is safe."
