A review by beebonet
The Vegetarian by Han Kang

challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense

4.0

Occassionally one come across a book that is purely well written. The writing itself gives pleasure. 

This story is disturbing, weird and does not follow any traditional narrative arch so to speak. The writing however is very fine. It is like examining a piece of pottery from long ago, one can only imagine the full pot, but that does not mean that the fragment one has is not beautiful in and of itself. 

A short book, but not a seamless read.
