Melanie O'Loughlin of Unity Books reviews Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Too.
This book is published by Scribner, UK.
First published in 2016, this slender novel had a profound impact in South Korea.
Now this 2020 English translation lays bare the casual misogyny so prevalent in the life of an ordinary woman, who, if she were born a boy, would live very differently.
