[Information]
A collection of short stories published in 2007. After being published in the UK in late 2015 under the English title 'The Vegetarian', it received rave reviews from major media outlets such as the Guardian and the Independent. With this book, Han Kang became the first Korean to win the Booker Prize.
This story begins with the story of a woman who becomes a plant on her apartment balcony, and the man she lives with plants her in a flower pot 'The Fruit of My Woman'. The title work 'The Vegetarian', the 2005 Lee Sang Literary Award winner 'Mongolian Spot', and 'Tree Flame' share the main character, 'Young-hye', who gradually avoids meat due to her childhood memories of a dying dog and thinks she is becoming a tree. The elegant writing style and dense composition embody eerie beauty.
We applaud the novelist Han Kang's path, who says, "I am still moving forward," and "Now I want to talk about things that cannot be destroyed, such as beauty and light.
