Beschreibung:
Minsoo Kang is a fiction writer and a historian specializing in the intellectual history of modern Europe. Due to his father's occupation as a diplomat for South Korea, Kang has lived in Korea, Austria, New Zealand, Iran, Brunei, Germany, the United States, and other places for shorter periods. He served in the army of the Republic of Korea and earned his Ph.D. in European History at UCLA. Currently, he is a professor at the history department of the University of Missouri at St. Louis, and the author of a number of history books and short speculative fiction.
A beautifully crafted, enriching saga inspired by East Asian mythology, The Melancholy of Untold History is Minsoo Kang's debut novel, steeped in history like R.F. Kuang's Babel, epic in scope like Anthony Doerr's Cloud Cuckoo Land, and lyrically exciting like David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas, interweaving four complex yet entertaining stories as they shape and create a nation's literary narrative through the themes of love and grief.
