FROM THE AUTHOR OF KIM JIYOUNG, BORN 1982 Â Eight women.
Eight stories. One reality. Â 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 10 to 80. Contained in each of
these biographies 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. Â
