FROM THE AUTHOR OF KIM JIYOUNG, BORN 1982 'There is laughter and joy to be found in these pages, along with the kind of laughter that sets two women over 50 rolling in the snow with tears streaming down their frozen cheeks and the aurora borealis dancing above them.' The Observer ‘A thought-provoking, nuanced read’ Sarah Manning, Red 'Dazzling prose' Elle Eight women. Eight stories. One reality. A woman is born. A woman is filmed in public without consent. A woman suffers domestic violence. A woman is gaslit. A woman is discriminated against at work. A woman grows old. A woman becomes famous. A woman is hated, and loved, and then hated again. Written in Cho Nam-Joo’s masterful, razor-sharp prose, Miss Kim Knows brings together the lives of eight Korean women, aged 10 to 80. Contained in each of these biographies is a microcosm of contemporary Korea, and the challenges and injustices that women face from childhood to old age. As with Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, the fates of these eight women are the fates of women the world over. And under Cho Nam-Joo’s precise, unveiled gaze, nothing and nobody escapes scrutiny--not even herself.

El nuevo e impactante libro de la aclamada autora de Kim Ji-Young, nacida en 1982 ,el fenómeno editorial con 1.500.000 de lectores, finalista del National Book Award. «Una colección de relatos rica en color local y que reflexiona sobre su anterior novela feminista, que sacudió a la sociedad surcoreana, y sobre los cambios generacionales de sus compatriotas». The Guardian «Junto a otras narrativas socialmente críticas surgidas en Corea, como la oscarizada Parásitos , de Bong Joon-ho, sus libros podrían cambiar la historia». The Guardian Las ocho mujeres que protagonizan estos relatos tienen edades muy dispares, pero todas se enfrentan a grandes desafíos: el machismo que las circunda a diario, la familia que las silencia, el medio laboral que las discrimina, algunas amistades inconsistentes o el imparable paso del tiempo. En el trasfondo de cada una de estas historias acecha la idea de que cualquiera de ellas pueda ser intercambiable por otra, aniquilando así toda forma de individualidad femenina y convirtiéndolas a todas en una anónima señorita Kim, el apellido más común del país: un personaje fantasmagórico y omnipresente que carga con todas las injusticias que pesan sobre las mujeres en la sociedad contemporánea. Lo que sabe la señorita Kim esboza un fresco feminista de Corea del Sur a través de la prosa magistral y afilada de Cho Nam-joo, a quien la crítica considera ya un referente de la lucha de las mujeres y la voz más importante que ha surgido en Asia en los últimos años. La crítica ha dicho: Sobre Lo que sabe la señorita Kim : «Una colección de relatos rica en color local y que reflexiona sobre su anterior novela feminista, que sacudió a la sociedad surcoreana, y sobre los cambios generacionales de sus compatriotas». The Guardian «Hay risa y alegría en estas páginas». The Observer «Una lectura sugerente y llena de matices». Red «Una prosa deslumbrante». Elle Sobre Kim Ji-Young, nacida en 1982: «Genera rabia y fascinación a partes iguales». Sunday Express «Esta poderosa novela, conmovedora e inteligente, nos obliga a enfrentarnos a nuestra propia realidad, esa en la que una mujer se considera más o menos intercambiable por cualquier otra. Hay toda una lógica en la condición cambiante de Kim Jiyoung: podría ser cualquier otra mujer». Daily Telegraph «Liberadas de toda atadura, autoras como Cho Nam-joo han hecho posible la aparición de los libros que hoy coronan las listas mundiales pese a tratar asuntos tan coreanos como la opresión social y laboral sobre las mujeres». Álex Vicente, Babelia «Un referente válido en cualquier conversación sobre feminismo o género y un faro para antifeministas. [...] Kim Ji-young supone una especie de sacrificio: una protagonista destrozada que se ofrece para canalizar la rabia colectiva». Sarah Shin, The Guardian «Cho Nam-joo retrata en ella una vida normal (como la suya) para un público que tal vez no ha podido leer tantas. Su aparente simplicidad merece una lectura». Berna González Harbour, El País

A New York Times Editors Choice Selection A global sensation, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 “has become...a touchstone for a conversation around feminism and gender” (Sarah Shin, Guardian). One of the most notable novels of the year, hailed by both critics and K-pop stars alike, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 follows one woman’s psychic deterioration in the face of rampant misogyny. In a tidy apartment on the outskirts of Seoul, millennial “everywoman” Kim Jiyoung spends her days caring for her infant daughter. But strange symptoms appear: Jiyoung begins to impersonate the voices of other women, dead and alive. As she plunges deeper into this psychosis, her concerned husband sends her to a psychiatrist. Jiyoung narrates her story to this doctor—from her birth to parents who expected a son to elementary school teachers who policed girls’ outfits to male coworkers who installed hidden cameras in women’s restrooms. But can her psychiatrist cure her, or even discover what truly ails her? “A social treatise as well as a work of art” (Alexandra Alter, New York Times), Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 heralds the arrival of international powerhouse Cho Nam-Joo.

A GUARDIAN 'ONE TO LOOK OUT FOR 2020' A RED MAGAZINE 'CAN'T WAIT TO READ' BOOK OF 2020 THE MULTI-MILLION-COPY SELLING SOUTH KOREAN SENSATION THAT HAS GOT THE WHOLE WORLD TALKING Kim Jiyoung is a girl born to a mother whose in-laws wanted a boy. Kim Jiyoung is a sister made to share a room while her brother gets one of his own. Kim Jiyoung is a female preyed upon by male teachers at school. Kim Jiyoung is a daughter whose father blames her when she is harassed late at night. Kim Jiyoung is a good student who doesn’t get put forward for internships. Kim Jiyoung is a model employee but gets overlooked for promotion. Kim Jiyoung is a wife who gives up her career and independence for a life of domesticity. Kim Jiyoung has started acting strangely. Kim Jiyoung is depressed. Kim Jiyoung is mad. Kim Jiyoung is her own woman. Kim Jiyoung is every woman. Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 is the life story of one young woman born at the end of the twentieth century and raises questions about endemic misogyny and institutional oppression that are relevant to us all. Riveting, original and uncompromising, this is the most important book to have emerged from South Korea since Han Kang’s The Vegetarian. Praise for Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 'It describes experiences that will be recognisable everywhere. It’s slim, unadorned narrative distils a lifetime’s iniquities into a sharp punch.’ The Sunday Times ‘A ground-breaking work of feminist fiction’ Stylist ‘Along with other socially critical narratives to come out of Korea, such as Bong Joon-ho’s Oscar-winning film Parasite, her story could change the bigger one.’ TheGuardian 'This witty, disturbing book deals with sexism, mental health issues and the hypocrisy of a country where young women are “popping caffeine pills and turning jaundiced” as they slave away in factories helping to fund higher education for male siblings.' The Independent 'Enthralling and enraging.' Sunday Express ‘Cho’s moving, witty and powerful novel forces us to face our reality, in which one woman is seen, pretty much, as interchangeable with any other. There’s a logic to Kim Jiyoung’s shape-shifting: she could be anybody.’ Daily Telegraph

TIME • Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2022 From the international best-selling author of Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 comes this chilling dystopian fable for fans of Netflix’s Squid Game. In a country called Town, a doctor named Su is found dead in an abandoned car. There is only one place the police intend to look for her suspected killer: the Saha Estates. Controlled by a secretive organization of ministers, Town is the safest, richest nation in the world. But it is a society clearly divided into the haves and have-nots, and those who have the very least—who aren’t even considered citizens—live on the Saha Estates. Residents of Saha must squat in moldy units without plumbing or electricity and can only find work doing harsh labor. For many, the apartment complex is a bleak haven for escaping even bleaker pasts—as it was for Jin-kyung and her brother, Do-Kyung, who showed up one day sopping wet and shivering. No one is shocked when a lowlife like Do-Kyung becomes the main suspect in Su’s—a citizen’s—murder. But then Do-Kyung disappears. Isolated in a barren Saha unit, Jin-Kyung makes a choice: she will finally confront a system hellbent on erasing her brother’s existence. To find him, she must rely on her tightlipped neighbors, from the mysterious janitor known as “Old Man,” to Granny Konnim, the community gardener and reluctant midwife, to Woomi, an unwitting test subject at the local clinic. On her quest for the truth, Jin-kyung will uncover a reality far darker than she could have imagined. Written in Cho Nam-Joo’s signature sharp prose, brilliantly translated by Jamie Chang, Saha is a chilling portrait of what happens when we finally unmask our oppressors.

RECOMMENDED BY DOLLY PARTON IN PEOPLE MAGAZINE! A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A USA TODAY BESTSELLER A LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER The bestselling historical fiction novel from Kim Michele Richardson, this is a novel following Cussy Mary, a packhorse librarian and her quest to bring books to the Appalachian community she loves, perfect for readers of William Kent Kreuger and Lisa Wingate. The perfect addition to your next book club! The hardscrabble folks of Troublesome Creek have to scrap for everything—everything except books, that is. Thanks to Roosevelt's Kentucky Pack Horse Library Project, Troublesome's got its very own traveling librarian, Cussy Mary Carter. Cussy's not only a book woman, however, she's also the last of her kind, her skin a shade of blue unlike most anyone else. Not everyone is keen on Cussy's family or the Library Project, and a Blue is often blamed for any whiff of trouble. If Cussy wants to bring the joy of books to the hill folks, she's going to have to confront prejudice as old as the Appalachias and suspicion as deep as the holler. Inspired by the true blue-skinned people of Kentucky and the brave and dedicated Kentucky Pack Horse library service of the 1930s, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is a story of raw courage, fierce strength, and one woman's belief that books can carry us anywhere—even back home.
