book review
The Vegetarian
A Korean woman, visited by a violent dream, forswears flesh and embarks upon a quiet, inexorable transformation toward the botanical, to the mounting distress of those determined to govern her corporeal form. Subdued in manner yet uncompromising in its brutality, the work discovers in bodily refusal the last uncolonized frontier of the self.
