92 - Han Kang's The Vegetarian

from Books of Some Substance

David, Eric, and Nick dive into The Vegetarian, a 2007 novel by Han Kang that, after its English translation, won the 2016 Man Booker International Prize. This compact work will appeal to anyone interested in tightly architected narrative structures, complex questions of individual agency, and visceral scenes situated right next to moments of quiet contemplation.   One's ability to choose, well, anything at all is not quite so black and white, is it?
