i went into the book with a preconceived notion of what the structure would be like based on the summary but my prediction(?) was OFF. so i think that threw off my enjoyment.
but the horrifying knowledge that this book is based off history that i had 0 prior knowledge of (minus the name âgwangju uprisingâ) was frightening.
but the last chapter? it really made me come to appreciate the book as a whole.

Wow. What a challenging set of stories 𼲠It is incredibly gory and harsh and so I found it quite challenging to get through.Â
I didnât have a clue about the historical events so it was eye-opening to read fictionalised accounts on it.
When I first read Han Kangâs The Vegetarian, I wasnât sure how to process it as it was so heavy. This one was definitely the same but I managed it in the end. Trigger warnings are included below đĽş
