Inequality is a fatal weapon in Cho Nam-Joo’s second novel Saha. Following her 2016 breakout bestseller, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, a tale of female straitjacketing in Korean society that rode on the #MeToo wave and sold more than 1mn copies, this new book births an oppressive dystopia where the shadows of real-world problems are chillingly visible.
