Description: International Booker Prize, San Clemente Prize for LiteratureRe-meet the masterpiece of the Han River that the world has paid attention to Han Kang's feature novel Vegetarian, which expanded the position of Korean literature to the next level by winning the International Booker Prize in 2016, will be introduced as a new journey in 15 years. Showing the intense combination of broken soul pain and plant imagination with elaborate compositions and an engaging style, the work is a masterpiece that completes the eerie aesthetics of beauty in Han's own way. The vegetarian, who won the International Booker Prize with the review of "a solid, elaborate, and shocking work that will stay in the hearts of readers and possibly in their dreams for a long time," received overseas book reviews (The New York Times) and "The combination of amazingly beautiful prose and incredibly violent content is shocking" (The Guardian), and received a heated response from around the world, winning the San Clemente Literary Award in Spain in 2018. Nearly one million copies have been sold so far in the country. It is a novel in which Young-hye, a vegetarian, refuses to eat meat one day and begins to conflict with her family, is the main character. However, the novel is described from the perspective of the three characters surrounding Young-hye, her husband, her brother-in-law, and her sister, and Young-hye never gains a leading speaker position. The violence of the patriarch in the name of the family, and the level of plant imagination that Young-hye shows to shed her animal nature and become a tree through fasting, will achieve greater resonance across all generations of readers.
