The line "After you died I couldn't hold a funeral, so my life became a funeral" still haunts me to this day. Especially in the original Korean "당신이 죽은뒤 장례식을 치르지 못해 내 삶이 장례식이 되었습니다" As a bilingual I got to read both the original Korean and the English translation and man even as someone who is really familiar w/ the subject as my father's from Gwangju, it was a harrowing read
Thank you so much for this! I’m so glad I found this as I was having a hard time understanding at first as I truly want to ready the book and know exactly what’s going on from the beginning. Again, thank you so much for this wonderful information & insight on this topic as well as the author. 🫶🏼
