Sinossi
«È tutt'altro che un'opera ascetica: è un romanzo pieno di sesso ai limiti del consenziente, di atti di alimentazione forzata e purificazione - in altri termini di violenza sessuale e disordini alimentari, mai chiamati per nome nell'universo di Han Kang ... Il racconto di Han Kang non è un monito per l'onnivoro, e quello di Yeong-hye verso il vegetarianesimo non è un viaggio felice. Astenersi dal mangiare esseri viventi non conduce all'illuminazione. Via via che Yeong-hye si spegne, l'autrice, come una vera divinità, ci lascia a interrogarci su cosa sia meglio, che la protagonista viva o muoia. E da questa domanda ne nasce un'altra, la domanda ultima che non vogliamo davvero affrontare: "Perché, è così terribile morire?"». (The New York Times)

This book wasn’t a casual read for me. This is deeply personal to my own beliefs. I’m a vegan. This book sung a song that I heard in my marrow; it made me realise so much. As a vegan I’ve experienced some of the things that I witnessed here. I can relate to it. I’ve lived it. I’ve been called a here Leggi tutto
Nope. This is the story of two sisters & their husbands & one woman's tendency toward violent, graphic dreams. Honestly, I'm not sure what I was supposed to take from this book & I'm not going to pretend for the sake of sounding intelligent or profound that I "got it." I absolutely did not enjoy read Leggi tutto

I am my own worst enemy. I am the one who eats all the cookies, for example, preventing myself from having cookies to eat. I am the one who accidentally stays up until the wee hours of the morning because I suddenly need to research that mass-hysteria-in-medieval-France thing where no one could stop Leggi tutto
wtfno. Book 10 of 30 for my 30 day reading challenge. And now I'm 3 days behind on my challenge because this book was exhausting to get through.
“Though the ostensible reason for her not wanting Yeong-hye to be discharged, the reason that she gave the doctor, was this worry about a possible relapse, now she was able to admit to herself what had really been going on. She was no longer able to cope with all that her sister reminded her of. She Leggi tutto
“It’s your body, you can treat it however you please. The only area where you’re free to do just as you like. And even that doesn’t turn out how you wanted.” I don’t even know how to begin describing this novel. I’m guessing that in a year’s time or more, it will still hold true that this was one of Leggi tutto
