Description
Winter in Sokcho is a novel about the complexities of identity and the spaces between self and other. In a small town on the border between North and South Korea, a young woman's life is marked by the slow pace of winter and the beauty of its desolate landscape.
When a French cartoonist arrives in Sokcho, the woman's life is disrupted by his presence and his vision for an authentic Korea. As they embark on a series of trips to explore the country, their relationship becomes increasingly complicated by misunderstandings and the blurred lines between intimacy and alienation.
This beautifully crafted novel explores the tensions between shared identities and divided selves, and the ways in which we navigate the spaces between ourselves and others. With a distinctive and unmistakable voice, Elisa Shua Dusapin's writing is a natural inheritor to the literary traditions of Marguerite Duras.
