"The Vegetarian" isn't just a novel; it's an experience that lingers, reminiscent of Kafka's work. It speaks powerfully on the themes of personal autonomy and the complexities of human relationships. Peeling back the layers of societal norms, it captures the profound effects of a simple, yet radical, change in one's life – choosing not to eat meat. This act sets off a deeply psychological journey that challenges readers to reconsider autonomy, mental health, and the boundaries of the self. If you're up for a daring literary exploration, this one will get under your skin and stay there.
