Description: Here are two Korean Literature books that exemplify this genre. The initially subtle, yet immensely disquieting ominousness of The Vegetarian reads like Haruki Murakami's 1Q84, where the narrative gets stranger, more estranged with every page. The young woman protagonist, Yeong-Hye starts having nightmares full of blood and hanging meat and decides to become a vegetarian. What follows is a complete metamorphosis of both mind and body for Yeong-Hye, as she impossibly, ecstatically, tragically becomes strewn far away from her once-known self.
Please Look After Mother tells a deeply stunning, deeply moving story of a family's search for their missing mother - and their discovery of the desires, heartaches and secrets they never realized she harbored within. Both works display the quiet yet powerful style of Korean writers, offering beautifully written books with sensitivity and heart.
