The Vegetarian

Han Kang
Hogarth • 2016

Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreams—invasive images of blood and brutality—torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and re...d renounce eating meat altogether. It’s a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that’s become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself. Celebrated by critics around the world, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one woman’s struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.

Sumár recenzie
Kniha ma najprv pohoršila, ale po zohľadnení súvislostí som ju začala vnímať inak a pochopiť autorkin zámer. Ide o komplexné dielo vnímané ako ženský protest proti patriarchátu, v ktorom hlavná hrdinka sa vzoprie príkazom a nakoniec stratí svoju identitu. Text je rozdelený na tri časti — z pohľadu manžela, švagra a sestry — čo ukazuje beznádej a utláčanie, pričom prerod postavy je znepokojujúci, ale veľkolepý. Kvôli perverznosti a zvláštnosti dielo nie je pre každého, ale mne sa napokon páčilo; hodnotenie: 4/5.
