Yeong-hye and her husband are ordinary people. He is an office worker with moderate ambitions and mild manners; she is an uninspired but dutiful wife. The acceptable flatline of their marriage is interrupted when Yeong-hye, seeking a more ‘plant-like’ existence, commits a shocking act of subversion. As her rebellion manifests in ever more bizarre and frightening forms, Yeong-hye spirals further and further into her fantasies of abandoning her fleshly prison and becoming – impossibly, ecstatically – a tree. 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.

首先,翻譯真的太重要瞭,直接影響閱讀質量… 對韓國文學一直有種似懂非懂的感覺可能是語言錶達方式的關係… 還是好好背單詞迴來看原版吧。書本身想錶達的那種韓式反抗 女性地位 子女的順從在西方世界是顛覆性的 所以大奬抱著也沒什麼奇特 在亞洲國傢的話估計早已見怪不怪。試想春節走親訪友 你瘦的皮包骨 然後對著親戚說 我是絕對素食主義者 親戚不得說你個神經病… 然後大魚大肉伺候?!
评分第二段很精彩 我覺得這和海邊卡夫卡一樣藉把古希臘的故事賦予現代性 按照Either/Or裏的說法 古代悲劇與現代悲劇的區彆 sorrow/pain, generality/individuality, relative/absolute,disclosure/concealment
评分bizarre .. dark...twisted..
评分第一次讀韓國小說,讀的是英文版的。本以為是荒誕派在寫一個人選擇成為素食主義,而故事慢慢在最後全部解開,素食主義隻是女主選擇對生活的一種抗衡方式,周圍人的不理解則是傳統的一種肉食主義的強勢看法,也是傢庭暴力和從小所收到陰影的一種映射。女主是妹妹,選擇瞭內心的拒絕和對抗,被他人認作精神失常,而同樣飽受摧殘的姐姐卻在粉飾曾經的經曆仿佛在經營一段完美的婚姻,但在這種悲劇也映射到瞭她的人生和婚姻,她的丈夫不管傢庭和孩子在玩藝術,最後為瞭一己私欲而釋放欲望。人性的欲望在這裏用素食和肉食進行映射,傢庭暴力和倫理道德的對抗,在這裏體現的淋灕盡緻,慢慢展開來,一點點拉開帷幕的方式,很吸引人。
