About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The unforgettable novel from Booker International Prize winner Han Kang, author of The Vegetarian.

In this compelling and beautifully-patterned novel, Han Kang tells the interwoven stories of a Greek instructor who is losing his sight and a woman who refuses to speak. Uniquely involving, and thoughtful, it explores the depths and limits of human connection.

A remarkable and timeless writer, Han Kang's words and stories go to the heart of what it means to be human - to be a species capable of both utmost violence and utmost love. With enormous tact, clarity and tenderness she examines the lives of the overlooked and the little seen, affording them a grace and dignity which makes them unforgettable.

'Han Kang is what most writers spend their lives trying to be: a fearless, unsentimental teller of human truths' Lisa McInerney

'Han Kang's vivid and at times violent storytelling will wake up even the most jaded of literary palates' Independent

It’s a incredibly touching story of loss and connection between the two main protagonists, in a voice of intimacy that transports you into a felt sense of the protagonists themselves.
Beautifully written in a poetic prose.
I listened to it twice and ended up buying the book.

I thought it laboured and pretentious in the extreme. “New age” in style and no discerned quality overall to warrant any prize let alone Nobel. I’m flabbergasted!!

The failed attempt at subtlety.
