A review by paulawind
The Investigation by Jung-Myung Lee
5.0
If you have to read one book this year make it this one. It is book about the war, but not about the war. It is universal tackling the truths which we have to face both in times of peace and conflict. It is a book about humanity and whether war and suffering can take it from us. This book shows us that we can never really know the person and that the most evil of them can have the kindest heart.
This book not only makes you think, but does what I love most about the literature- it is meta on the level that it refers to wide range of other authors enriching it and giving “additional layer”. Books save souls. If you don’t get anything more than that (and you definitely can) then just remember than one thing. Oh, and of course the essence of Dong-ju - be always optimistic and see the beauty in all the world around you.
