A very enjoyable read despite some of the dry spells. The book features the many intertwined lives, and catches you at the introduction through the birth of a young boy proceeding to follow his livelihood. Truly riveting.

major major content warnings for this book fyi but this is for sure my favorite of young-ha kim’s from what i’ve read so far. his straightforward writing helps me envision everything and every character so clearly in my own interpretation and i really bit my tongue and sped thru this. feels like something i might try annotating in the future

DNF it after read 35% of the book.

I want to love this book so bad!! But this book wasn't for me. I quite fond of the writing style and I like how it gave the readers different perspectives of Korean with low income lifestyle.
But, I feel the story didn't go anywhere and I didn't have any idea what the author aim for the story. And I'm a little uncomfortable by Child Abuse, rape, and violence towards woman in the story.

Traduit du coréen 『너의 목소리가 들려』 grâce aux Kim Young-sook et Arnauld Le Brusq. Portrait fascinant d'un homme sans attaches, à la dimension christique. Il est le révélateur incandescent d'une société, la Corée, qui est aussi la nôtre, déchirée par ses tensions internes. Sombre et tumultueux.
