Details
'Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982’ by Cho Nam-Joo is a literary novel about a young woman trapped by society. In a small, tidy apartment on the outskirts of Seoul lives Kim Jiyoung. A thirty-year-old “millennial everywoman”, she has recently quit her job in order to care for her newborn daughter full-time. 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. As she plunges deeper into this psychosis, the novel goes back into the past and recounts her life story.
