Rina, Paperback / softback Book

Rina Paperback / softback

Part of the Library of Korean Literature series

Paperback / softback

Description

Rina is a defector from a country that might be North Korea, traversing an "empty and futile" landscape.

Along the way, she is forced to work at a chemical plant, murders a few people, becomes a prostitute, runs a lucrative bar, and finds a solace in a motley family of wanderers all as disenfranchised as she.

Brutal and unflinching, with elements of the mythic and grotesque interspersed with hard-edged realism, Rina is a pioneering work of Korean postmodernism.
