In Sonyeoni Onda, Han Kang writes about the 1980 Gwangju protests that shocked South Korea, already shaken by the death of President-dictator Park Chung-hee, a coup d’état and the imposition of martial law. But it is primarily a story of trauma and all shades of humanity – both dark and bright. Han Kang weaves the narration of many characters, alive and dead, that address each other, sometimes taking off the curtain that divides us and them.
