But the dreams--invasive images of blood and brutality--torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It's a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that's become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCelebrated by critics around the world, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Vegetarian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one woman's struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAuthor: Han Kang\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTranslator: Deborah Smith\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrefer Audiobook? \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tidd.ly\/4wyTliW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eListen Here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eA NEW YORK TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBESTSELLER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY\u003cbr\u003eONE OF\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTHE GUARDIAN'\u003c\/i\u003eS 100 BEST NOVELS OF ALL TIME\u003cbr\u003eA\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eKIRKUS REVIEWS\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eBEST FICTION BOOK OF THE CENTURY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA Best Book of the Year:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBuzzFeed, Entertainment Weekly, Wall Street Journal, Time, Elle, The Economist, HuffPost, Slate, Bustle, The St. Louis Dispatch, Electric Literature, Publishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"Ferocious.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review (\u003c\/i\u003eTen Best Books of the Year)\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"Both terrifying and terrific.\u003cem\u003e\"--\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ci\u003eLauren Groff\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"Provocative [and] shocking.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hogarth Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978581573920,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/4465\/0272\/files\/vegetarian.jpg?v=1783947378","url":"https:\/\/side-plot.myshopify.com\/products\/the-vegetarian","provider":"Side Plot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
