In a country called Town, a doctor named Su is found dead in an
abandoned car. There is only one place the police intend to look
for her suspected killer: the Saha Estates. Controlled by a
secretive organization of ministers, Town is the safest, richest
nation in the world. But it is a society clearly divided into the
haves and have-nots, and those who have the very least-who aren't
even considered citizens-live on the Saha Estates. Residents of
Saha must squat in moldy units without plumbing or electricity and
can only find work doing harsh labor. For many, the apartment
complex is a bleak haven for escaping even bleaker pasts-as it was
for Jin-kyung and her brother, Do-Kyung, who showed up one day
sopping wet and shivering. No one is shocked when a lowlife like
Do-Kyung becomes the main suspect in Su's-a citizen's-murder. But
then Do-Kyung disappears. Isolated in a barren Saha unit, Jin-Kyung
makes a choice: she will finally confront a system hellbent on
erasing her brother's existence. To find him, she must rely on her
tightlipped neighbors, from the mysterious janitor known as "Old
Man," to Granny Konnim, the community gardener and reluctant
midwife, to Woomi, an unwitting test subject at the local clinic.
On her quest for the truth, Jin-kyung will uncover a reality far
darker than she could have imagined. Written in Cho Nam-Joo's
signature sharp prose, brilliantly translated by Jamie Chang, Saha
is a chilling portrait of what happens when we finally unmask our
oppressors.
