I don't have much to say about this book, beyond you should read it, and it's a wrenching masterwork, and it has so much to say on the subject of pain and suffering and war and power and empire and the evil that humans are capable of.
And that you should read it.
Bottom line: Stop reading my dumb words when Han Kang's are much better.
------------
pre-review
a masterpiece.
review to come / approx 4.5

I just finished reading The Vegetarian and loved it. I’m interested in reading other books by Han Kang, but I’m curious, is there any animal cruelty in this book?
