When Adam Opens His Eyes, Paperback / softback Book

When Adam Opens His Eyes Paperback / softback

Part of the Library of Korean Literature series

Paperback / softback

Description

First published in 1990, this is a sensational and highly controversial novel by one of Korea's most electrifying contemporary authors.

A preposterous coming-of-age story, melding sex, death, and high school in a manner reminiscent of some perverse collision between Georges Bataille and Beverly Cleary, the narrator of this book plows through contemporaneous Korean mores with aplomb, bound for destruction, or maturity--whichever comes first.
