Representaion Supposing Books Human Acts

From the internationally bestselling author of The Vegetarian, a rare and astonishing (The Observer) portrait of political unrest and the universal struggle for justice. In the midst of a violent student uprising in South Korea, a young boy named Dong-ho is shockingly killed. The story of this tragic episode unfolds in a sequence of interconnected chapters as the victims and the bereaved encounter suppression, denial, and the echoing agony of the massacre. From Dong-ho's best friend who meets his own fateful end; to an editor struggling against censorship; to a prisoner and a factory worker, each suffering from traumatic memories; and to Dong-ho's own grief-stricken mother; and through their collective heartbreak and acts of hope is the tale of a brutalized people in search of a voice. An award-winning, controversial bestseller, Human Acts is a timeless, pointillist portrait of an historic event with reverberations still being felt today, by turns tracing the harsh reality of oppression and the resounding, extraordinary poetry of humanity.

Article Out Of Books Human Acts

I had mixed feelings after finishing Kang's The Vegetarian, but I cannot deny that the book sucked me right into it's dark, weird allegory. Which is why I'm surprised that this book left me feeling cold and detached. It feels so distant and impersonal, lacking an atmosphere worthy of the subject matter.Human Acts tells an important story that I'm sure many people know nothing about - that of the South Korean Gwangju Uprising in 1980. In a daring plot choice that should have been far more

I will read anything Han Kang writes. Her stories are haunting and powerful beyond belief. Human Acts is the story of a violently suppressed student uprising in Gwangju, South Korea in 1980. It is based on actual event which I knew nothing about. Like The Vegetarian, this not an easy story to read and it is haunting in its brutality but it is important and should definitely be read.

Human Acts is a novel based on the true events of the Gwangju massacre of 1980 (which I knew nothing about before starting this book). It is told from the perspective of different people involved in the violently suppressed uprising, and centres especially around the middle school student Dong-Ho who we meet in the first chapter, when he is looking for his missing friend.The language used in this novel is starkly beautiful and poetic, and in some ways that makes its unflinching telling of this

Human Acts 5 starsA literary masterpiece about humanityThis author continues to astonish me. Her first book, The Vegetarian, is a totally unique work of fiction. This book, Human Acts, is a fictionalized account of an actual student uprising in Gwangju, South Korea in 1980. Hundreds of people (estimates run from 600 to 2,000), most of them young students, were killed during this protest. This book focuses on the death of one 15-year-old boy, Dong-ho.Ms. Kang has a wonderful talent for bringing



No one had ever taught me how to address a person's soul. If one is to take the path of see no evil/hear no evil/speak no evil when it comes to the relationship between writer and writing, the consideration of bodies in conjunction with paper and pen and keyboard and the electricity of nerve signals is cut off at the root. That's fine, though. Then you don't need to think about all that must be involved when literature is a thing of capitalism, the funding for the composition and the funding

Is it true that human beings are fundamentally cruel? Or, in the words of one of the characters in Human Acts, To be degraded, damaged, slaughtered is this the essential fate of humankind, one that history has confirmed as inevitable?Its a dark view, but for those who survived the Gwangju Uprising of 1980, it would appear that cruelty is, indeed, part of being human. As happens all too often in history, laborers and students rose up against a dictatorship and later were arrested or massacred.
