One Spoon on This Earth by Ki-young HyunMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is described as a Bildungsroman, which is it, although it comes across as a stream of consciousness set of recollections from childhood.
It is also haunting, dealing with the Jeju uprising, as well as the Korean war and its aftermath.
All in all very eye-opening. I kind of wish a map were provided so I could find more of the spots mentioned, although I'm sure nothing is the same these days.
