Miss Kim knows and other stories

Miss Kim knows and other stories

Cho Nam-Joo ; translated by Jamie Chang
Book - 2024

"One of TIME's Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2024: "A thought-provoking anthology for the #MeToo age." Eight women. Eight stories. One reality. A woman is born. A woman is filmed in public without consent. A woman suffers domestic violence. A woman is gaslit. A woman is discriminated against at work. A woman grows old. A woman becomes famous. A woman is hated, and loved, and then hated again. Written in Cho Nam-Joo's masterful, razor-sharp prose, Miss Kim Knows brings together the lives of eight Korean women, aged ten to eighty. Contained in each of these sensational stories is a microcosm of contemporary Korea, and the challenges and injustices that women face from childhood to old age. As with Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, the fates of these eight women are the fates of women the world over. And under Cho Nam-Joo's precise, unveiled gaze, nothing and nobody escapes scrutiny--not even herself."--
