Our International Book of the Month is Mater 2-10 Hwang Sok-yong and translated by Sora Kim-Russell (Translator) and Youngjae Josephine Bae.
The book has been short-listed for the 2024 Booker Prize. In contemporary Seoul, a laid-off worker stages a months-long sit-in atop a sixteen-story factory chimney. During the long and lonely nights, he talks to his ancestors, chewing on the meaning of life, on wisdom passed down the generations.
