Fiction or Non-Fiction?
Would you recommend The Girl Who Wrote Loneliness to your friends? Why or why not?
It's not an easy story to listen to as the author jumps in time frequently. However for those interested in a time and place we here little about (South Korea during the 1970s) it is worth a listen. The narrator (who may or may not be the author) gives incredible details of the time and what it was like to work and live in Seoul during that period.
Any additional comments?
This work walks the line between memoir and fiction. Many of the background events (such as the Gwangju Uprising) are lifted straight from history and depicted in a deeply intimate manner. I honestly don't know how much of the author's story is true, and perhaps that is the point.
