    母国の過酷な状況を逃れて国境を超えた22名の脱出者たち。そのひとりとしての少女リナ。彼女たちを待ち受けるものは何だったのか? 国境の向こう側には、夢見たものがあったのか? 殺人、人身売買、強姦、麻薬、売春――次々と襲いくる悲惨な出来事を乗り越えて、リナはいかに生きたのか。国家はもとよりふつうの意味での家族すら捨てたリナが選んだ新しい家族の形とは? 脱北した若い女性リナの、悪夢のような流転を読みながら、私は日本社会の労働者や路上生活者と接している気分でいた。 闇の労働市場で売られ続けるリナは、世界の奴隷ワーカーの輝ける象徴だ。 激しい怒りも悲しみも虚無もすべて飲み込んで成長するリナを、私はおののき崇める。   Source: http://www.amazon.co.jp/リナ-姜-英淑/dp/4773811137

    Kang Young-sook / 강영숙 / 2015 / -

    Rina is a defector from a country that might be North Korea, traversing an "empty and futile" landscape. Along the way, she is forced to work at a chemical plant, murders a few people, becomes a prostitute, runs a lucrative bar, and finds a solace in a motley family of wanderers all as disenfranchised as she. Brutal and unflinching, with elements of the mythic and grotesque interspersed with hard-edged realism, Rina is a pioneering work of Korean postmodernism.
