Originally published in 2007 and winner of the International Booker Prize in 2016, The Vegetarian tells the haunting story of Yeong-hye, a woman whose decision to stop eating meat sets off a devastating unraveling within her family, exploring patriarchy, autonomy, and the fragility of the human body.
