4.0 out of 5 starscompelling and creative story
By Russell Pittman on March 30, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a really excellent book, whether one thinks of it as a single novel or a connection of closely interconnected stories. The movement among different characters is subtle and imaginative, and the different perspectives are illuminating. One strength of the book is the interesting window it provides on Korean society in the midst of wrenching industrialization, but in my mind this is linked to the book's only real weakness as well: we don't really need the gross details of the degradation of the human and natural environment, or the soaring rhetoric of those defending the workers against the evil capitalists, rubbed in our faces quite so explicitly. Overall, though, I recommend this book highly. Related recommendations: The Old Garden, by Hwang Sok-yong, and Words of Farewell: Stories by Korean Women Writers, edited by Sok-Kyong Chi-Won & Chong-Hui.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt's really a great novel. In terms of style and structure
By Amazon Customer on January 18, 2016
Format: Paperback
It's really a great novel.

In terms of style and structure, the things Cho Se-hui does are incredibly innovative (for the 80's) and compelling. This novel will hit you emotionally when you don't expect it. Some passages are dialogue heavy with terse prose, and some passages spend several pages giving detailed descriptions or explanations. A few pages are even written in the style of a script, as if for a play. Though the writing doesn't have one consistent form or voice throughout the novel, instead of distracting from Cho Se-hui's message, this usage of multiple voices creates a much more three-dimensional view of the story portrayed and enhances the story.

A must read for those studying Korean lit.for sure, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone else who likes good books.

2.0 out of 5 starsSomething lost in translation?
By TC on December 29, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Not sure if it is the translation to English from Korean, but the interconnecting short stories just do not hang together. The writing is pretentious and the characters are thinly developed.
