I wrote The Vegetarian between 2003 and 2005, and published it as a full-length novel in 2007. I remember thinking that it was rather strange (in a good way) to win the International Booker Prize in 2016, more than a decade later. Since winning the prize, my other works including Human Acts, The White Book, and Greek Lessons, as well as my most recent novel, We Do Not Part, have been or are being translated into several languages. I’m grateful that the International Booker Prize has invaluably helped my works to reach a wider readership in different cultures.

I undoubtedly joined this department in an unfamiliar environment, and to be honest, I was not fully prepared for it. However, I joined, and one month and seven days have already passed. Initially, my experience was somewhat chaotic. It was a difficult situation because, as you may have seen, there was unrest in many places. There was a sense of dissatisfaction among the inmates. They had this feeling that since the country is independent, why should they remain imprisoned (laughs)? But not everyone is a political prisoner. Those facing criminal charges are not entitled to release. It took a lot of effort to convey this.
