Critics Review
What is it called again when dystopian fiction seems too uncomfortably plausible: Horror? Speculative fiction? A wake-up call? Treading in territories visited over time by Dickens, Orwell, Atwood, Ishiguro, Squid Game, and Parasite, Cho recounts–in specific and painstaking detail–the miserable lives endured by the many residents of the Saha housing complex… This successor to Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 (2020), Cho’s chronicle of the misogynistic forces behind South Korea’s #MeToo movement–a finalist for the National Book Award–addresses another equally corrosive social horror. Read. Weep. Learn.–Kirkus Reviews, starred review
