Han Kang

A reading and discussion with Han Kang, the winner of the 2017 Man Booker International Prize, as she introduces her new book, The White Book. Written while on a writer’s residency in Warsaw, a city palpably scarred by the violence of the past, the narrator finds herself haunted by the story of her older sister, who died a mere two hours after birth.

From the publisher’s website: “Both the most autobiographical and the most experimental book to date from South Korean master Han Kang…The White Book is a book like no other. It is a meditation on a colour, on the tenacity and fragility of the human spirit, and our attempts to graft new life from the ashes of destruction.”

Price: £5/£3 conc.
