Episode 2 | The Tyranny of Conformity | The Vegetarian by Han Kang

The Joy of Serious Literature

Somewhere deep in Korea, a woman decides to become a vegetarian and thereby ruins the lives of everyone around her. Her husband's career is ruined. Her sister's marriage is ruined. Even her own life ultimately ends up annihilated. Why? Because there is nothing more evil in the world than difference. A caustic sledgehammer to the face. The winner of the Man Booker International Prize.
