Walk in the Mountains (Bilingual)
$19.50
Walk in the Mountains (Bilingual) is Vol. 4 in the Modern Korean Short Stories Series. An apathetic husband and a wife’s slow awakening to a harsh reality share center stage in So Young-En’s fascinating short story. Partly a post-modern detective story of a wife trying to find the cause of her husband’s disinclination to function in society, it is also a spiritual exploration that culminates in the husband’s nirvana-like revelation, only to have the wife come to grips with a disturbing truth.
