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 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.
