The reader, like the characters themselves, experiences a loneliness so profound that it verges on physical sensation: a wrenching desire to mend these broken connections. Characters cut off from communication-by death, by time, by life’s other cruelties-often address unreachable interlocutors, struggling to be heard, yet only Han’s reader is there to listen. All three books stage conversations hauntingly out of joint, severed dialogues that yearn toward impossible completion. What does it mean to speak without the hope of a response? To address someone who cannot or will not hear you, who cannot or will not reply? The first three full-length novels by the South Korean writer Han Kang to appear in English pose these questions with an uncompromising starkness. ![]() ![]() ![]() COOTEs in Australia & New Zealand - JILL WATSON 12/20/09.

The most prominent figure in this story is Woodrow Wilson, who enjoyed a benign-to-heroic reputation for most of the twentieth century. Back they came to more cheering crowds, and then it was the Roaring Twenties.Īdam Hochschild’s new book, American Midnight, explores “what’s missing between those two chapters”-an enraging, gruesome, and depressingly timely story about the fragility of American democracy, as both institution and concept. Despite their belated RSVP, the well-fed, well-bred American soldiers arrived in Europe as liberators, marched cheerfully into the protracted slaughter, and quickly put paid to the Hun. In the history-textbook summary, the country remained above the fray until German submarine attacks forced President Wilson to renege on his 1916 election promise to keep the country out of the war. There are few episodes in national history as blithely misunderstood as America’s participation in World War I. ![]() ![]() ![]() While away from it, as children and as grown-ups, we dreamt about it.
