Cho Nam-Joo’s new dystopian novel, translated by Jamie Chang, follows her runaway bestseller Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982. Published in South Korea in 2016, Kim Jiyoung was the story of a woman suffering from post-partum psychosis. The first Korean title in nearly a decade to sell over a million copies, it ignited a public debate that gained momentum with the country’s #MeToo movement. Its translation by Chang was longlisted for a 2020 National Book Award.
