I LOVED this gem of a book about a woman deciding to (literally!) slowly devour her dead husband. It’s about a shimmering love and, later, grief that endures through great hardship, and is inspired by the writer’s fave writer, Clarice Lispector. I relished every word. out in June

2024 #NobelPrize laureate Han Kang’s major international breakthrough came with the novel 채식주의자 (2007; ‘The Vegetarian’, 2015). Written in three parts, the book portrays the violent consequences that ensue when its protagonist Yeong-hye refuses to submit to the norms of food intake. Her decision not to eat meat is met with various, entirely different reactions.
