| hace 1 año

The Vegetarian by Han Kang is a gripping and beautifully written novel. It explores the complexity of personal choice and identity in a way that feels both haunting and thought-provoking. The story stays with you long after you finish, offering a deep on society and self. I really enjoy reading it.

There have been times in my life when I've felt completely lost and hopeless, wishing I could just be a tree! So, reading this book brought me back to hours of being alone with my thoughts, while a movie played in my mind, showing the world outside but focusing on how cultures are built around gender, and the never ending, sometimes agonizing reality of being a woman, of existing in these cultures. I think 'The Vegetarian' was more than just about being a vegetarian; it was a title for a woman who wanted to become a tree. Being a vegetarian was just a part of her journey. I honestly think 'The Vegetarian' is one of those books where everyone can find their own meaning. When I reached the last sentence, I felt like I needed to stop thinking for a while, so that I could later think about everything I read in this book. It's the kind of book that leaves you with questions; questions you're not even sure you have answers for.
