“A haunting, unforgettable novel that is as much a meditation on the human condition as it is a critique of modern society.”

The New York Times

“Han Kang’s prose is both lyrical and visceral, drawing the reader into Yeong-hye’s world with both beauty and terror.”

The Guardian

Han Kang’s “The Vegetarian” received mixed critical reception, with some praising its powerful exploration of identity and societal expectations while others found its dark and disturbing themes challenging. While the novel dives into the complexities of human consciousness, the England vs Greece Euro 2024 qualifier offers a different kind of spectacle , focusing on athletic prowess and national pride.

Both, however, provide thought-provoking insights into human nature, albeit in vastly different ways.

“The Vegetarian is a masterpiece of contemporary literature, a novel that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.”
