Alt text: Book cover for The Vegetarian by Han Kang. Across the top, in bright magenta uppercase text, it reads: “WINNER OF THE 2024 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE”. Beneath this, the author's name appears in very large bold black capitals: “HAN KANG”.
Below the author's name are two review quotations:
“‘An extraordinary experience’” — Guardian
“‘Terrifying and terrific’” — Lauren Groff
The central artwork is a stylised, close-up image of a pale human torso and shoulder against a dark grey background. The body is decorated with flat, graphic flowers in vivid colours. Three large white daisy-like flowers with bright magenta centres are placed across the shoulder, chest, and lower torso. Four smaller red flowers with black centres—some resembling poppies and others with elongated petals—are scattered around them. The composition is minimalist, with smooth gradients and high contrast between the pale skin and the saturated floral colours.
At the bottom, the title appears in very large bold black uppercase letters: “THE VEGETARIAN”
Directly beneath the English title is the Korean title in bright magenta: “채식주의자”.
