I don't know about Straya specifically but it's recently released and prize-winning. I've seen it in chain bookshops (Waterstone's etc.) in the UK.

I loved this book. I don't have fantastic amounts to add because Mel said a lot of what I was thinking above. External to the novel itself, the story of its translation is pretty cool. Debbie Smith learnt Korean after casting around for something to do afted uni and noticing Korean was rarely translated. With no previous experience and an entirely monolingual background she learnt Korean, moved to Korea for immersion, and now 7 years on she won half a Booker for this. Not bad going.

There's more than a touch of the 'tism about a guy complaining how a book titled The Vegetarian wasn't about a literal dictionary-definition vegetarian.

I gotta say as frustrating as it is for the strange robot man to make the same post ten times as he fails to grasp that every book is not about elf wizards triumphing over chaos lords, it has brought out some interesting analysis so good work y'all.

Pompous rear end who uses too many words to make his point loves books by pompous asses who use too many words to make no point at all. How surprising.
