South Korean author Han Kang broke out in the U.S. last year with the Man Booker International Prize-winning novel The Vegetarian, a transfixing book about the unexpected consequences of a woman’s decision to forgo meat. Her new novel, Human Acts, showcases the same talent for writing about corporeal horrors, this time in the context of the 1980 Gwangju uprising, when the military killed hundreds of people protesting martial law.
