About this Event
Join us at 5.45 on Thursday 29th of January for our monthly fiction book club. We'll be kickstarting the year with 'Human Acts' by Han Kang.
From the Nobel prize winning author of The Vegetarian, this brutal and moving Korean bestseller is bound to provoke discussion.
Gwangju, South Korea, 1980. Amid a violent student uprising a young boy named Dong-ho is killed. As his friend searches for Dong-ho's corpse, we also meet an editor struggling against censorship, a prisoner and a factory worker, each suffering from traumatic memories, and Dong-ho's grief-stricken mother. Through their collective heartbreak and acts of hope comes a tale of a brutalised people in search of a voice.
Bring yourself and your thoughts, and we'll be awaiting with tea, biscuits, and a cosy atmosphere.
