Book

One hundred shadows / Hwang Jungeun ; translated by Jung Yewon ; [introduced by Han Kang.]

Hwang, Chŏng-ŭn, 1976- (author.). Jung, Yewon, (translator.). Han, Kang, 1970- (writer of foreword.).

Summary:

In a Seoul slum marked for demolition, residents' shadows have begun to rise. No one knows how or why-but, they warn each other, do not follow your shadow if it wanders away. Employees of a small electronics shop, Eungyo and Mujae can only watch their tight-knit community begin to fade as the landscape of their lives is torn apart, building by building. Their growing connection with one another provides solace, but against an uncaring ruling class and the inevitability of the rising shadows their relationship may not be enough.
