    I read Human Acts this year and I really enjoyed it! Chapters one and two were already so emotional and I just love her writing (also shoutout to the translator Deborah Smith). I read The Vegetarian quite some time ago.. I just remember it being quite weird but liking it. Time for a re-read I would say! Excited to hear that there is going to be a new book coming out, will definitely read that too 😊

      @@Fuonaa i honestly wish i knew korean because i feel like a lot of han kang's writing is lost in translation, as good as it may be now. and yes, weird is an understatement for the vegetarian, isn't it 😂

    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!

    I'm planning to dive into Han Kang's work soon! Hearing your insights has inspired me to pick them up-it sounds like it’ll be quite the emotional journey.

    Excellent video. Thank you so much. I put White Book at the top (I’ve read all except Convalescence), but I understand your reasons. I also had some trouble with Greek Lessons.

      the white book is definitely a favorite as well! and yes, i'm still mourning the fact that i waited so long for a greek lessons translation, only to be disappointed by it 😢
      thanks for being here!

    Not a big deal, but on your thumbnail, you have Human Acts as your worst and Greek Lessons as your best.
