About this book
After a disturbing dream, Yeong-hye abruptly stops eating meat. Her decision seems simple at first, but her family treats it as an intolerable act of rebellion, and the consequences spread through her marriage, her relatives, and her sense of self. Told through shifting perspectives rather than a conventional heroic arc, Han Kang’s spare, unsettling novel examines desire, violence, shame, and the pressure to remain legible to others. It is short, formally inventive, and emotionally intense—a dark literary experience that rewards attention to every silenced thought and bodily detail.
