The Vegetarian
Genís Genís This one left me quiet for a while. It starts with a simple act, a woman deciding to stop eating meat, and unravels into something haunting, surreal, and deeply human (and uncomfortable even, depending on your stomach). It’s about control, autonomy, and what happens when someone refuses to play by society’s rules. Beautifully written, unsettling, and impossible to forget. Even more fascinating after reading interviews from the author and how it was first received in Korea.
