SUMMARY:Ancient Book Club Discussion | "Human Acts" by Han Kang: Session 1
DESCRIPTION:“A ‘rare and astonishing’ (The Observer) portrait of political unrest and the universal struggle for justice.” \nSummary:\n“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. \n 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.” \n  \nREGISTER BELOW
