Wangta

By D.H. de Bruin

WANGTA noun (Korean) target of school bullying; outcast; pariah; omega. Even after moving back to Seoul when he was seven, Jang Tae Kwan had never really fit it. His father had honoured his promise to raise the boy in English, but that only made him more of an outsider. When puberty graced him with his father's bulk instead of his departed mother's lithe form, the schoolyard taunting turned to total avoidance. So he lurks in the back of every class, a silent witness to the drama unfolding around him. Sketching is his only solace, aside from periodic calls from his cousin still in Canada. Then it starts happening again... finding drawings and paintings that he can't remember making. The trances have returned and with them the magpies. From tree branches and electrical lines, they watch... and through their eyes... so does something else. D. H. de Bruin's debut novel weaves Korean mythology and folklore into a modern tale fraught with mystery , betrayal , jilted lovers , and revenge .
