In a small, tidy apartment on the outskirts of the frenzied metropolis of Seoul lives Kim Jiyoung. A 30-something-year-old “millennial everywoman”, she has recently left her white-collar desk job - in order to care for her newborn daughter full-time - as so many Korean women are expected to do. But she quickly begins to exhibit strange symptoms that alarm her husband, parents, and in-laws: Jiyoung impersonates the voices of other women - alive and even dead, both known and unknown to her.

Written in Cho Nam-joo’s signature razor-sharp prose, Miss Kim Knows follows eight women as they confront how gender shapes and orders their lives. A woman is born. A woman is filmed in public without consent. A woman is gaslit. A woman is discriminated against at work. A woman grows old. A woman becomes famous. A woman is hated, and loved, and then hated again. As with Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, these microcosmic stories prove eerily relatable under Cho Nam-joo’s precise, unveiled gaze, offering another captivating read from an essential voice in fiction.

Las ocho mujeres que protagonizan estos relatos tienen edades muy dispares, pero todas se enfrentan a grandes desafíos: el machismo que las circunda a diario, la familia que las silencia, el medio laboral que las discrimina, algunas amistades inconsistentes o el imparable paso del tiempo.

"Miss Kim weiß Bescheid" versammelt die Leben von sieben koreanischen Frauen im Alter von 10 und 80 Jahren. Jede einzelne dieser stellvertretenden Frauenbiografien wird vor einem aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Thema in Korea verhandelt: das heimliche Filmen von Frauen in der Öffentlichkeit, Hatespeech und Cybermobbing auf Social-Media-Plattformen, häusliche Gewalt, Gaslighting, weibliche Identität im Alter und die Ungleichbehandlung am Arbeitsplatz. Auch sich selbst, die plötzlich weltbekannte Autorin, nimmt sie ins Visier.

Der internationale Bestseller aus Südkorea zeigt die junge Frau Kim Jiyoung auf ihrem Weg zur Emanzipation in einer von Ungleichheit und Unterdrückung geprägten Gesellschaftsordnung. Cho Nam-joos Roman, eindringlich gelesen von Nele Rosetz und Felix von Manteuffel, erzählt das Schicksal einer Mittdreißigerin, die in einer kleinen, aufgeräumten Wohnung am Rande der Metropole Seoul lebt. Kim Jiyoung hat erst kürzlich ihren Job im Marketing aufgegeben, um sich um ihre neugeborene Tochter zu kümmern - wie es von koreanischen Frauen erwartet wird.

FROM THE AUTHOR OF KIM JIYOUNG, BORN 1982 'There is laughter and joy to be found in these pages, along with the kind of laughter that sets two women over 50 rolling in the snow with tears streaming down their frozen cheeks and the aurora borealis dancing above them.' The Observer ‘A...

Esta novela ha pasado de ser la breve historia de una joven coreana a convertirse en un terremoto que ha sacudido a las mujeres de medio mundo. Kim Ji-young (que lleva el nombre más común entre las mujeres coreanas nacidas en 1982) es aparentemente una mujer como cualquier otra, con una juventud sin pena ni gloria, siempre a la sombra.

There are two classes of people in the Town: L and L2. The ones with citizenship are referred to as Ls, or Citizens. They are above a certain level of financial status with knowledge or skills that the Town requires. The L2s are people without citizenship but have a clean criminal record. After...

In her signature sharp prose, brilliantly translated by Jamie Chang, Nam-Joo returns with this haunting account of a neglected housing complex in the shadows of Town: a former fishing village bought out by a massive conglomerate. Town is prosperous and safe―but only if you’re a citizen with “valuable skills and assets,” which the residents of Saha Estates are not. Disenfranchised and tightlipped, the Saha are forced into harsh labor, squatting in moldy units without electricity.
