The Future of Silence: Fiction by Korean Women by Oh Jung-heeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A great collection of Korean women's writing. Some of the stories were odd and/or disturbing. Some didn't really speak to me. Some were excellent.
My favorites:
Identical Apartments, by Pak Wan-so
Ali Skips Rope, by Chon Un-yong
The Future of Silence, by Kim Ae-ran.
This last one was beautiful and sad, especially for language lovers.
The best title award goes to: "It's one of those the-more-I'm-in-motion-the-weirder-it-gets days, and it's really blowing my mind". Although the story was a tad too disturbing for me.
