What an excellent book! It was a tad reminiscent of some contemporary Japanese fiction, only in that it had that same dreamy/semi-surreal feel that you can get with Murakami or Yoshimoto.
Bonus that it takes place in Wando, an island I visited around a decade ago, quite randomly.
Regardless, a great novella with a resonating story, and the Pansori music as a backdrop. I wish there were more by this author in translation, but it looks like there isn't, at least not yet.
