The 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to South Korean novelist Han Kang for her “intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.” In this video I go over my thoughts on her three main books: The Vegetarian, The White Book, and Human Acts!

-------------------------

The Vegetarian: 1:01
For a Nobel Prize-winning horror novel, ‘The Vegetarian’ sure is boring.
5 or 6/10

The White Book: 8:16
‘The White Book’ is not as unique as it thinks it is.
5/10

Human Acts: 11:21
‘Human Acts’ overcomes its author’s slow writing style by being energetic, specific, and brutal.
8/10
