“In all its languages, (Han Kang’s) ‘The Vegetarian’ is a work which invites a particularly personal form of reading … among a particular kind of reader — ‘sick women’ who refuse to be well in a world that violates and debilitates; ‘impressionable young girls’ mocked for their fannishness; anyone who might defiantly reclaim some of the labels given to Yeong-hye — crazy, excessive, hysterical,” muses translator Deborah Smith in her short essay, “Reflecting on Han Kang.”
