A Master of Murder: How a Murderer Remembers by Kim Young-ha Author's Profile By Cha Mi-ryeong on Oct 27 2014 19:40:44 Vol.22 Winter 2013   How a Murderer Remembers Kim Young-ha Munhakdongne Publishing Corp. 2013 176pp. ISBN 9788954622035 A serial killer retired after his last murder 25 years ago. He buried dead bodies in the forest of bamboo he bought, and adopted Eunhee as his daughter, who is actually the daughter of his last victim. Now he is about to kill again. A series of murders occur in a regional district and near the region, a suspicious man driving a jeep approaches Eunhee. Can this former serial killer save his daughter from a new serial killer? Kim Young-ha’s latest novel, How a Murderer Remembers, reminds us of his first bestseller, I Have the Right to Destroy Myself. In I Have the Right to Destroy Myself, Kim has listed the “suicide instructor” who plans and assists with the suicide of clients as a new face in the history of Korean fiction. How a Murderer Remembers, which is based on the record of a person who presides over death, also shows the protagonist who proudly recalls his past, at least, until after the first several pages. It makes sense because his poem “A Knife and Bones,” is not a metaphor, but literally as it is.
