The Vegetarian

After enjoying Crying in H-Mart and Pachinko, I googled to see what other Korean-authored books I had been missing out on. More than one list included Han Kang’s novel The Vegetarian. A college friend had given me his paperback copy maybe six years ago. That copy eventually got included, unread, in one of the big boxes of books I had purged. I almost never act on recommendations, but now the whim to read this had struck and, importantly, my public library had an ebook available. Through the OverDrive website, I selected my preferred format, which redirected me to Amazon where another mouse click sent the file to my Kindle.
