Thursday Evening Book Club: Human Acts by Han Kang

Read Human Acts by Han Kang and then come discuss it with us at the Des Plaines Public Library.

In the midst of a violent student uprising in South Korea, a young boy named Dong-ho is shockingly killed. The story of this tragic episode unfolds in a sequence of interconnected chapters as the victims and the bereaved encounter suppression, denial, and the echoing agony of the massacre. An award-winning, controversial bestseller, Human Acts is a timeless, pointillist portrait of an historic event with reverberations still being felt today, by turns tracing the harsh reality of oppression and the resounding, extraordinary poetry of humanity.

Copies of these books are available at the Readers Services desk on the 3rd floor of the library. Registration required.
