Kyung-Sook Shin recommends
The Old Woman with the Knife (2022)
Gu Byeong-mo
"An unparalleled story only Gu Byeong-mo could create, with a groundbreaking female character as captivating as any in literature."
Love in the Big City (2021)
Sang Young Park
"How could a story be as intense as this, as fresh as this? Page after page, we discover contradictory emotions that are both surprising and beautiful. I was so eager to read on that my fingers turned each new page before I’d finished the last. I hope he writes another novel that inspires such hard and fast intimacy."
Lemon (2021)
Kwon Yeo-Sun
"With taut, steely prose, Kwon burrows into the details surrounding the shocking murder of a beautiful girl. Though Lemon takes the form of a mystery and there’s psychological suspense that will grip you all the way to the end, it isn’t just a whodunnit. Hidden on every page are explorations of grief and guilt, how one should go on after a tragedy. It jolts with its brilliance and tartness. It’s simply electric."
