Stories -- Granny Wild Goose and the Root's Tale

Übersetzer: Kim, Joon-Li; Ryu, Doo-Sun

Beschreibung

In these two stories, "Granny Wild Goose" and "The Root's Tale," award-winning South Korean writer Kim Soom presents portraits of complex women who have emerged wiser from life’s brutality. One is a former comfort woman, one is a modern woman in a failing relationship, yet neither flinches away from their lives. The sensitive translation maintains Kim’s beautiful imagery and musical prose.
