Lovely, as always! I read The Vegetarian upon your expert recommendation, and yes, it was transformative for me and I think about it often. As frustrating as it was to read about the protagonists demise, I realised that for her it wasn't a break down, but a break through. Showing us that to change, to transform, and thereby separating yourself and breaking off from your family, isn't necessarily a bad thing depending on who is leaving that unit. I also bought Human Acts, but it is on my TBR list. A book about suffering isn't very appealing to step into, but now that you've said she writes so softly about suffering, I might finally be tempted to finally start reading it. Congratulations to Han Kang!
grateful to be ur book buddy! still have u to thank for claire keegan, so we're even ❤ AND YES, the way han kang just so tenderly depicted something so atrocious made it all the more heartbreaking 😢

@@silveroceanletters My bad, I guess I should probably watch the videos before comment on them 😁
Not a big deal, but on your thumbnail, you have Human Acts as your worst and Greek Lessons as your best.
