View allAbout This Event
The event features a discussion of 'The Vegetarian' by Han Kang on 2 December 2026 at The Gallimaufry in Bristol. The novel explores the life of Yeong-hye, who chooses to become a vegetarian in a society where this choice is rare, leading to themes of subversion and societal norms in modern South Korea.
*Note that we're moving temporarily to Gloucester Road while our usual home is unavailable* A popular suggestion at A Book I Loved. Yeong-hye, seeking a more 'plant-like' existence, decides to become a vegetarian, prompted by grotesque recurring nightmares. In South Korea, where vegetarianism is almost unheard-of and societal mores are strictly obeyed, Yeong-hye's decision is a shocking act of subversion. Fraught, disturbing and beautiful, The Vegetarian is a novel about modern day South Korea, but also a novel about shame, desire and our faltering attempts to understand others, from one imprisoned body to another.
