Zofia SochFirst to rec“han kang is a genius. i read this book 6 years ago and i still think about it all the time. it is so painful and complicated and weird. i'm not going to give a synopsis, but i will warn you not to read the goodreads reviews because they are upsettingly reductive. pearls before swine 🤷♀️”

kate russell“Picked this up after Han Kang won the Nobel Prize, one week before I was headed to South Korea. It was supposed to be the book I would read on my trip, but I finished it before the week was up. A portrait of a woman painted by everyone but herself, scorned for not being who they wanted her to be.”
