FROM HAN KANG, WINNER OF THE 2024 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE

[Han Kang s] intense poetic prose . . . confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life. The Nobel Committee for Literature, in the citation for the Nobel Prize

The internationally bestselling author of The Vegetarian presents a rare and astonishing (The Observer) portrait of political unrest and the universal struggle for justice.

Compulsively readable, universally relevant, and deeply resonant . . . in equal parts beautiful and urgent. The New York Times Book Review

Shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award One of the Best Books of the Year: The Atlantic, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, HuffPost, Medium, Library Journal

Amid 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.
