Klappentext
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 signature razor-sharp prose, Miss Kim Knows follows eight women, ranging from preteens to octogenarians, as they confront how gender shapes and orders their lives. In "Under the Plum Tree," Mallyeo feels existential as she bears witness to her sister's final days; in "Dear Hyunnam Oppa," a college graduate musters the courage to leave her partner; and in "Grown-Up Girl," a mother finally confronts her generational biases for the sake of her daughter. "Despite her characters' hardship and disappointments, there is mischief and glee to be found in these pages" (Hephzibah Anderson, Observer), resulting in another riveting read from an essential voice in world literature.
