Hi there. Welcome to this podcast, from the Canary Islands to the world,
This is a literary journey without borders. Each episode I explore a work, an author or a literary movement from different corners of the planet. Because books are also passports, and each story brings us closer to different cultures, languages and realities.
"Kim Ji-young, born in 1982" is a novel by Cho Nam-joo. The plot centers on a housewife who becomes a stay-at-home mother and then suffers from depression. It focuses on the everyday sexism the protagonist has endured since her youth.
The book was published in Koren in 2016 by Minumsa and has sold over one million copies as of November 27, 2018, becoming the first Korean novel to sell one million copies since Shin Kyung-sook's "Please Take Care of Mom" in 2009.
And that concludes today's episode, see you in the next one!
If you have any comments or suggestions for future episodes, feel free to drop me a comment.
