2. Human Acts

With a tall glass of cold barley tea in hand, tune in for a conversation about Han Kang's Human Acts as I explore the events of the 1980 Gwangju Uprising. Han's 2014 novel examines humanity's ability for cruelty and kindness, as she attempts to reconcile this paradox.

Han Kang's interview with the White Review can be found here.

Deborah Smith's essay for Asymptote can be found here.

More details on the Gwangju Uprising, Park Chun Hee, Chun Doo Hwan and Park Geun Hye can be found in their respective links.
