A review by timelapse
Grass by Keum Suk Gendry-Kim

emotional informative sad fast-paced

5.0

it’s a story without much hope or happiness to it because it’s a story about extensive suffering, and the author makes a point to not pretend it is anything but that. but you can feel how much love and care went into this book, from the interviewing of grandmother okja, to the illustrations, and the translation which in and of itself feels like an act of defiance--to care to painstakingly discover and document her story even as the history tries to pretend it never happened.
