Beschreibung:
Deborah Smith arbeitete früher als Journalistin für Zeitungen und medizinische Zeitschriften. Heute lebt die in Amerika bekannte Schriftstellerin zusammen mit ihrem Ehemann in den Bergen im Norden Georgias.
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, and a brutalised country searches for a voice. In a sequence of interconnected chapters the victims and the bereaved encounter censorship, denial, forgiveness and the echoing agony of the original trauma.
Human Acts is a universal book, utterly modern and profoundly timeless. Already a controversial bestseller and award-winning book in Korea, it confirms Han Kang as a writer of immense importance.
