read on recommendation from Jimin, this is a raw, nightmarish, interconnected collection of narratives around the 1980 South Korean Gwangu Uprising and the reverberations of the violent massacre for years to come. dealing in bodies and souls and what humans are capable of - immense cruelty and stunning survival in the face of it - Kang’s writing is poetic yet matter-of-fact, experimental and exact.
