Human Acts
Han Kang, Deborah Smith (translation)A riveting, poetic & unrelentingly powerful work from the author of the 2016 Man Booker International Prize-winning novel The Vegetarian. "Han Kang's writing is clear & controlled & she handles the explosive, horrifying subject matter with great warmth" (The Times).
Gwangju, South Korea, 1980. In the wake of a viciously suppressed student uprising, a boy searches for his friend's corpse, a consciousness searches for its abandoned body, & a brutalised country searches for a voice. In a sequence of interconnected chapters the victims & the bereaved encounter censorship, denial, forgiveness & the echoing agony of the original trauma."Searing. In Human Acts [Kang] captures the paradox of being human: the meat-like, animal reduction of our humanity the dead bodies of the beginning chapter alongside our ability to love & suffer for our principles, & die for them, that makes us truly human. She is excellent in summarizing this paradox. If it hopes to tie the personal with the political, it does the former so much more powerfully: a mother thinking of her dead son, for example, displays literary mastery as subtle & specific as it is universally heartbreaking." — The Independent
Human Acts is a universal book, utterly modern and profoundly timeless. It is a pointillist portrait of a historic event with reverberations still being felt today, by turns tracing the harsh reality of oppression & the resounding, extraordinary poetry of humanity. Already a controversial bestseller & award-winning book in Korea, it confirms Han Kang as a writer of immense importance.
