Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982
“has become...a touchstone for a conversation around feminism and gender” (Sarah Shin,
Guardian
).
One of the most notable novels of the year, hailed by both critics and K-pop stars alike,
follows one woman’s psychic deterioration in the face of rampant misogyny. In a tidy apartment on the outskirts of Seoul, millennial “everywoman” Kim Jiyoung spends her days caring for her infant daughter. But strange symptoms appear: Jiyoung begins to impersonate the voices of other women, dead and alive. As she plunges deeper into this psychosis, her concerned husband sends her to a psychiatrist. Jiyoung narrates her story to this doctor—from her birth to parents who expected a son to elementary school teachers who policed girls’ outfits to male coworkers who installed hidden cameras in women’s restrooms. But can her psychiatrist cure her, or even discover what truly ails her? “A social treatise as well as a work of art” (Alexandra Alter,
),
heralds the arrival of international powerhouse Cho Nam-Joo.
