One of the most notable novels of the year, hailed by both critics
and K-pop stars alike, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 follows one woman's
psychic deterioration in the face of rampant misogyny. In a tidy
apartment on the outskirts of Seoul, millennial "everywoman" Kim
Jiyoung spends her days caring for her infant daughter. But strange
symptoms appear: Jiyoung begins to impersonate the voices of other
women, dead and alive. As she plunges deeper into this psychosis,
her concerned husband sends her to a psychiatrist. Jiyoung narrates
her story to this doctor-from her birth to parents who expected a
son to elementary school teachers who policed girls' outfits to
male coworkers who installed hidden cameras in women's restrooms.
But can her psychiatrist cure her, or even discover what truly ails
her? "A social treatise as well as a work of art" (Alexandra Alter,
New York Times), Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 heralds the arrival of
international powerhouse Cho Nam-Joo.
