Review: The Last Of Hanako

The Last Of Hanako The Last Of Hanako by Ch'oe Yun
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I enjoyed both these stories quite a bit. I almost feel like it's a view of Korean society from the outside looking in, if that makes any sense.

UPDATE:
After re-reading the book, I can confirm that both stories are still enjoyable. The first story is more poignant than I remember it, while the second was pretty much as I remembered. I'm still amazed this is the same author as "Mannequin", which I didn't really enjoy at all. These stories are a very different style. 

Since Goodreads doesn't specify it, the translation is by Ju-chan Fulton.
