[UNITED STATES]PEN World Voices Festival, panel with Han Kang
PEN 월드 보이스 페스티벌: 작가 한강 초청
2023.05.12. ~ 05.12.
GREEK LESSONS: HAN IN CONVERSATION WITH KATIE KITAMURAHan Kang’s Booker Prize-winning 2016 novel The Vegetarian solidified her place as a master of the surreal, and is a powerful reminder that what makes surrealist narratives so haunting is the way they illuminate concerns that are real and urgent. Kang, one of South Korea’s leading literary voices, joins the World Voices Festival for the North American launch of her new novel, Greek Lessons. Following a female protagonist who loses her voice and seeks out learning Greek as a possible remedy, the book is a poignant exploration of language, the nature of pain, and the need to move on. Join Kang in conversation with Katie Kitamura, author of Intimacies, for this fascinating conversation of the self and the myriad ways we seek to heal. -
