Review: The Road to Sampo

The Road to Sampo The Road to Sampo by Hwang Sok-yong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A very atmospheric short story, taking place during the early 70s, when farmers were being uprooted for factory/construction work, but the work itself was sporadic and seasonal. I liked all three characters, although the main protagonist (Yong-dal) was a bit of a mystery to me. 

And someone mentioned they made this into a movie? I'd love to see that.
