I am a coward because I am so afraid to reading something I get too deep into or it might be too adult for me. Period. I'll try though.

Human Acts

From the internationally bestselling author of  The Vegetarian , a rare and astonishing ( The Observer ) portrait of political unrest and the universal struggle for justice.   In the midst of a violent student uprising in South Korea, a young boy named Dong-ho is shockingly killed.  The story of this tragic episode unfolds in a sequence of interconnected chapters as the victims and the bereaved encounter suppression, denial, and the echoing agony of the massacre. From Dong-ho's best friend who meets his own fateful end; to an editor struggling against censorship; to a prisoner and a factory worker, each suffering from traumatic memories; and to Dong-ho's own grief-stricken mother; and through their collective heartbreak and acts of hope is the tale of a brutalized people in search of a voice.  An award-winning, controversial bestseller,  Human Acts  is a timeless, pointillist portrait of an historic event with reverberations still being felt today, by turns tracing the harsh reality of oppression and the resounding, extraordinary poetry of humanity.
