Han Kang’s Human Acts meets Yoko Ogawa’s The Memory Police in this understated South Korean novella in translation: a restrained yet emotional magical realist examination of futility in a capitalist society written in response to the 2009 Yongsan Disaster.
With an introduction from Han Kang, International Booker Prize-winning author of The Vegetarian and recipient of the 2024 Nobel Prize in literature!

This edition features an introduction by Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Vegetarian, Han Kang, a historical note about the Yongsan tragedy that inspired One Hundred Shadows, and an exclusive interview with the
