Our Twisted Hero | Yi Munyol
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
When the twelve-year-old narrator of Our Twisted Hero moves to a small town and enrolls in the local school, he's confident that his big city sophistication will establish him as a natural leader. He is shocked to find his new classmates and teacher under the spell of the class monitor. As the narrator sets out to overthrow the bully, he is threatened, teased--and finally broken.

Our Twisted Hero | Yi Munyol
Pickpick

An interesting study on how boys relate to each other, especially outsiders, and how power exchange works in a school setting. Jarring to read about beatings from the teacher, but it is set in the sixties and was published in the eighties....context.

I lied. Not starting a Christie. Starting this un.

Over the past couple weeks, I've bought a bunch of South Korean novels (as well as a couple Japanese ones that caught my eye) and I'm digging into several of them for the rest of the year and probably a lot of next year.
