Gwangju, South Korea, 1980. In the wake of a viciously suppressed
student uprising, a boy searches for his friend's corpse, a
consciousness searches for its abandoned body, and a brutalised
country searches for a voice. In a sequence of interconnected
chapters the victims and the bereaved encounter censorship, denial,
forgiveness and the echoing agony of the original trauma. Human
Acts is a universal book, utterly modern and profoundly timeless.
Already a controversial bestseller and award-winning book in Korea,
it confirms Han Kang as a writer of immense importance.
