    ‘Normaal gesproken laat ik geen vrouwen instappen als eerste klant van de dag,’ zei de chauffeur. ‘Maar zoals je daar stond, zag ik direct dat je onderweg moest zijn naar iets belangrijks. Vandaar dat ik je toch een lift geef.’ Is de taxirit dan gratis? vraagt Jiyoung zich af. Moet ze hem dankbaar zijn, omdat hij over zijn hart heeft gestreken en voor deze ene keer is gestopt voor een vrouw, die onderweg is naar haar zoveelste sollicitatiegesprek waar ze voor de zoveelste keer zal worden afgewezen door de zoveelste sollicitatiecommissie bestaande uit louter mannen(!)? Het is een van de vele voorbeelden van de kleinerende, seksistische opmerkingen die Kim Jiyoung dagelijks moet incasseren. Vrouwen zijn in Zuid-Korea minderwaardig aan ­mannen en dat moeten ze voelen ook: van bevoogdende opmerkingen tot discriminatie tot seksuele intimidatie. Cho Nam-Joo (1980), scenarioschrijver van beroep, tekende haar ­eigen ervaringen op. Met haar internationale miljoenenbestseller Kim Jiyoung, geboren in 1982 (2016), maakte ze een hoop los in Zuid-­Korea.(...)

    The Sydney Morning Herald / December 05, 2020

    I waited almost four years to read this book. It was published in South Korea in October 2016 and was translated into English earlier this year. I suppose I could have learnt Korean in that time – but has anyone taken on a new language to read a work of literature in its original language?(...)

    ABC News / December 12, 2020

    If I Had Your Face by Frances Cha While the novel can be read as an indictment of gender inequality in South Korea (a great companion read is Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo), it is never moralistic about the women's choices, and revels in their love of K-Pop. It provides a fascinating insight into a class of people whose worlds are often hidden, in the same way that the Oscar-winning film Parasite highlights the social inequalities in South Korean society.

    Ask anyone with at least one eye on world literature in translation which countries are putting out the most groundbreaking novels, and they will likely mention South Korea. Korean novels frequently bend and break genres, explore often untouched social and political themes, and speak to our very souls.

    the atlantic / December 24, 2020

    This year has highlighted the particularities of that thing called reading. Some found books impossible to pick up; sustained attention to text on a page is hard when the world is in so much pain. Others turned to literature anew, rediscovering the ways it can refresh and inspire. Below are the titles we were most drawn to in 2020: a wide-ranging list that includes new spins on epic poems, stories about the interior lives of women, memoirs that eloquently challenged industries, and, yes, essays that made us laugh.
