Description
Incomprehensible inner strength and a thirst for life—what allows us to hold on and stand firm in any circumstances.
A former Red guerrilla who dreamed of freedom and equality for a unified Korea—walking with a rifle over his shoulder—crossed the mountains of Paegunsan and Chirisan and did not turn away from his ideals even in capitalist Korea. He died by crashing into a telegraph pole. This death becomes a starting point: it helps his daughter see in her father not only a guerrilla and a communist, but above all a person.
A novel with a wide scope and an engaging manner of storytelling covers three days after the father’s death. Yet it is worth listening to the stories told at the funeral—and before the reader unfolds the harsh seventy years of Korea’s newest history.
“An ironic manner by the author exposes the tragedies of the time when ideals collided head-on”—Moon Jae-in, former President of the Republic of Korea
