Join three unmissable new voices, Juhea Kim, Ela Lee and Park Seolyeon, as they discuss their ambitious and incisive novels that will challenge and expand your idea of Korean literature.
Ela Lee’s Jaded is a searing exploration of race, power and violence, as well as how hope can light up the darkest moments, City of Night Birds transports us to the cutthroat world of Russia ballet in a novel of love and redemption, ambition and desire, and subline artistry and Park Seolyeon’s Capitalists Must Starve is a reimagined history of Kang Juryong, a female factory worker who became an independence fighter and labour activist.
‘A novel that will be read and loved for the next one hundred years, and essential reading for right now. I could not have loved it more.’
Coco Mellors, on City of Night Birds
