Lo Que Sabe La Señorita Kim / Miss Kim Knows and Other Stories [Spanish]

El nuevo e impactante libro de la aclamada autora de Kim Ji-Young, nacida en 1982, el fen meno editorial con 1.500.000 de lectores, finalista del National Book Award.

«Una colecci n de relatos rica en color local y que reflexiona sobre su anterior novela feminista, que sacudi a la sociedad surcoreana, y sobre los cambios generacionales de sus compatriotas . -- The Guardian

«Junto a otras narrativas socialmente cr ticas surgidas en Corea, como la oscarizada Par sitos, de Bong Joon-ho, sus libros podr an cambiar la historia . -- The Guardian

Las ocho mujeres que protagonizan estos relatos tienen edades muy dispares, pero todas se enfrentan a grandes desaf os: el machismo que las circunda a diario, la familia que las silencia, el medio laboral que las discrimina, algunas amistades inconsistentes o el imparable paso del tiempo. En el trasfondo de cada una de estas historias acecha la idea de que cualquiera de ellas pueda ser intercambiable por otra, aniquilando as toda forma de individualidad femenina y convirti ndolas a todas en una an nima se orita Kim, el apellido m s com n del pa s: un personaje fantasmag rico y omnipresente que carga con todas las injusticias que pesan sobre las mujeres en la sociedad contempor nea.

Lo que sabe la se orita Kim esboza un fresco feminista de Corea del Sur a trav s de la prosa magistral y afilada de Cho Nam-joo, a quien la cr tica considera ya un referente de la lucha de las mujeres y la voz m s importante que ha surgido en Asia en los ltimos a os.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

FROM THE AUTHOR OF KIM JIYOUNG, BORN 1982

"There is laughter and joy to be found in these pages, along with the kind of laughter that sets two women over 50 rolling in the snow with tears streaming down their frozen cheeks and the aurora borealis dancing above them." -- The Observer

"A thought-provoking, nuanced read" -- Sarah Manning, Red

"Dazzling prose" -- Elle

Eight women. Eight stories. One reality.

A woman is born. A woman is filmed in public without consent. A woman suffers domestic violence. A woman is gaslit. A woman is discriminated against at work. A woman grows old. A woman becomes famous. A woman is hated, and loved, and then hated again.

Written in Cho Nam-Joo's masterful, razor-sharp prose, Miss Kim Knows brings together the lives of eight Korean women, aged 10 to 80. Contained in each of these biographies is a microcosm of contemporary Korea, and the challenges and injustices that women face from childhood to old age. As with Kim Jiyoung, born 1982, the fates of these eight women are the fates of women the world over. And under Cho Nam-Joo's precise, unveiled gaze, nothing and nobody escapes scrutiny--not even herself.
