A review by asterope
At Dusk by Hwang Sok-yong

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

4.25

For me, this was a great starting place for reading Hwang Sok-yong. It follows two interlinked perspectives from different generations on Korea’s rapid development since the war. Absolutely my shit. It had that dreamlike quality I’ve loved in other Korean fiction. I haven’t had the same experiences as the characters, but the writing makes it easy to connect with their emotions.
