Praise for Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982
'It describes experiences that will be recognisable everywhere. It's slim, unadorned narrative distils a lifetime's iniquities into a sharp punch.'The Sunday Times
'Aground-breakingwork of feminist fiction' Stylist
'Along with other socially critical narratives to come out of Korea, such as Bong Joon-ho's Oscar-winning filmParasite,her story could change the bigger one.'TheGuardian
'This witty, disturbing book deals with sexism, mental health issues and the hypocrisy of a country where young women are "popping caffeine pills and turning jaundiced" as they slave away in factories helping to fund higher education for male siblings.'The Independent
'Enthralling and enraging.' Sunday Express
'Cho'smoving, witty and powerfulnovelforces us to face our reality, in which one woman is seen, pretty much, as interchangeable with any other. There's a logic to Kim Jiyoung's shape-shifting: she could be anybody.' Daily Telegraph
