Description
A nominee for the International Booker Prize, Hwang Sogyeon presents a new, powerful novel—a sweeping saga in which an entire century of Korean history comes into view through the lives of ordinary people.
In today’s Seoul, a fired factory worker climbs a sixteen-story factory smokestack and declares a strike that lasts for months. In long, lonely nights, he speaks in his mind to his ancestors, trying to understand what the meaning of life is and what wisdom is truly passed from generation to generation.
Through the stories of his family, “Three Generations of Railroad Workers,” the novel vividly and piercingly shows how ordinary Koreans lived and endured—from the era of Japanese colonization and the struggle for independence to the events of the 21st century.
