È vero che gli uomini sono fondamentalmente crudeli? L’esperienza della crudeltà è l’unica cosa che ci accomuna come specie? La dignità a cui ci aggrappiamo non è altro che un’autoillusione, un modo per nasconderci questa unica verità - che ciascuno di noi può essere ridotto a un insetto, a una bestia rapace, a un ammasso di carne? Può farsi degradare, distruggere, massacrare… È questo il destino ultimo del genere umano, un destino che la storia ha confermato come qualcosa di ineluttabile? - Atti umani, Han Kang

No es preciso que te perdone ni que pidas perdón, porque yo no te conozco.

Young-hye's husband is the reality of the most in the real world, especially in arranged marriage, which seems to me a disaster. Because as long as you're not a drama according to them — no appeal, no demands, no choice, no discussion, no resisting — you're a good wife. As soon as you start with even a little of your choice, you become an object from a person, which seems too distinct to you. But you were an object for them to begin with. An object or a clay, adjusted, molded as they desire.

If Franz Kafka and Stephen King had a baby and that baby grew up and wrote a book, this would be that book. #wtfdidijustread #thevegetarian #hankang #goodbook #butwtf #bookstagram

In Bed, a poem inspired by The Vegetarian by Han Kang

an orgasm these days a gunshot to my chest

Interrupt the flow of time dull screech of the dryer

machine, insisting things are no longer the same

I must open the door of my bulleted heart

and give you a new home

Far away, blood detergent

boils you shut and

My ejaculations end embraced in solid Daddy’s arms

not shot, not washed but his cock swabs

a smile on my mouth

Finally-!

the seconds stretch I feel it last

I reach up,

a person

holds me

sane
