About the Book: Human Acts
Gwangju, South Korea, 1980. In the wake of a viciously suppressed student
uprising, a boy searches for his friends 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
