De vegetariër
Winnaar van de Nobelprijs voor de Literatuur 2024Bekroond met de Man Booker International 2016 De jonge Yeong-hye en haar man lijken gewone, doorsnee mensen. Hij werkt op kantoor, zij is de plichtsgetrouwe echtgenote. Hun acceptabele maar saaie huwelijk raakt verstoord wanneer Yeong-hye, die aan afschuwelijke nachtmerries lijdt, van de ene op de andere dag stopt met het eten van vlees – in Zuid-Korea, waar vegetarisme bijna niet voorkomt en sociale codes streng worden nageleefd, een schokkende daad van rebellie. Yeong-hyes passieve verzet zet haar echtgenoot ertoe aan haar steeds ruiger te behandelen. In haar pogingen te ontsnappen aan de wreedheid van de wereld om haar heen raakt ze steeds meer verstrikt in de onmogelijke, maar extatische hoop de gevangenis van haar vleselijke lichaam te verlaten en een boom te worden: de puurste vorm van leven op de planeet. De vegetariër is een beladen en verontrustend mooie roman over het moderne Zuid-Korea, maar ook over schaamte, geweld, verlangen en onze wanhopige pogingen elkaar te begrijpen. ‘Een overtuigende, indringende roman.’ – NRC ‘De vegetariër is een wonderlijk boek, schurend en tegelijkertijd diep tragisch en ontroerend.’ – de Volkskrant ‘Een boek over de vrijheid van vrouwen binnen een patriarchale familieconstructie, de mogelijkheid van persoonlijk, intiem verzet, onbegrepen zielen en de onkenbaarheid van de ander.’ – Boeken FM ‘Onthutsend, verrukkelijk boek.’ – De Morgen ‘Ik zou zeggen dat u dit boek moet lezen.’ – Arnon Grunberg in de Volkskrant ‘Voor de fans van Murakami.’ – Gazet van Antwerpen **** ‘De bijna perverse verleiding van dit boek zit ’m [...] in de poëzie van de beelden. Ze zijn heftig erotisch en nogal beklemmend.’ – De Groene Amsterdammer
