July 4, 2016 After winning the Man Booker International Prize for The Vegetarian , Han has written a harrowing second novel that traces the long-term reverberations from South Korea’s 1980 Gwangju Uprising, in which government troops killed anywhere between 200 and 2,000 civilians in the chaos...

”I det vita, bland alla de vita tingen, kommer jag att andas in det sista andetag du gav ifrån dig.” Det är smärtsamt vackert och poetiskt och vitt nästan rakt igenom. Men det vita kontrasteras effektfullt mot det mörka; de mörka ögonen, den svarta jorden, sorgens tunga slöjor. Den gasvävsomslutna...

韓国で100万部を超えるベストセラーとなったチョ・ナムジュ著『82年生まれ、キム・ジヨン』は、日本でも昨年に邦訳版が刊行されるや累計刷部数14万部を突破し、外国文学として稀に見る大ヒットを飛ばした。いま韓国文学は、世界の米ビルボードのヒットチャートを席巻するK-POPと同様に、世界中で大きなブームになっている。 女性差別をテーマにした『82年生まれ、キム・ジヨン』が、2016年に発生した「江南通り魔殺人事件」と、それをきっかけに起こったフェミニズム運動を背景に持つことは明らかだが、このような韓国文学における表現について、9月発売の『STUDIO VOICE』“次代のアジアへ――明滅する芸術”...

Das dünne Bändchen, das zuerst wie ein blumiger Ernährungsratgeber klingt, ist ein fast unerträgliches Buch. Die Hauptfigur Yeong-Hye hört auf, tierische Produkte zu essen - und verschwindet daraufhin langsam aus einer Welt, die sie nie wirklich gesehen und immer nur Ansprüche an sie gestellt hat.

Den förra presidenten i Sydkorea, Park Guen-hye, hade en svart lista med över 9000 kulturarbetare som hon såg som meningsmotståndare. Sedan hon avsattes 2017 råder ett öppnare offentligt samtal i landet. – Författare i Sydkorea söker en ny riktning, säger Sverigeaktuella Han Kang.

ينفر بعض منظّري كتابة الرواية من اعتماد المؤلفين على الصُّدف في أعمالهم، ويحذّر جاك مايلز بيكهام من ذلك فيقول: «تحدث المصادفات في الحياة دائمًا، ولكنها في القصة مُهلِكة، ولا سيما عندما تُسعِف المصادفة الشخصية في أن تكون في المكان المناسب وفي الوقت المناسب، أو في استراق السمع لمحادثة هاتفية حاسمة،...

This novel is haunting, violent, moving, and utterly compelling. It's told in three parts, around a young woman named Yeong-hye, who we never hear from other than some descriptions of her terrifying dreams which led her to become a vegetarian. But she is the central character, the fulcrum for...

“Though the ostensible reason for her not wanting Yeong-hye to be discharged, the reason that she gave the doctor, was this worry about a possible relapse, now she was able to admit to herself what had really been going on. She was no longer able to cope with all that her sister reminded her of...

Honestly, in this case, I'm much more interested in reading other people's reviews of the book rather than writing my own. I just feel like there are so many layers here, so many things that need to be discussed, so many unique interpretations, so many questions...
