Book Details

FROM THE AUTHOR OF KIM JIYOUNG, BORN 1982 'There is laughter and joy to be found in these pages, along with the kind of laughter that sets two women over 50 rolling in the snow with tears streaming down their frozen cheeks and the aurora borealis dancing above them.' The Observer ‘A thought-provoking, nuanced read’ Sarah Manning, Red 'Dazzling prose' Elle  Eight women. Eight stories. One reality.  A woman is born. A woman is filmed in public without consent. A woman suffers domestic violence.A woman is gaslit. A woman is discriminated against at work. A woman grows old.A woman becomes famous. A woman is hated, and loved, and then hated again.   Written in Cho Nam-Joo’s masterful, razor-sharp prose, Miss Kim Knows brings together the lives of eight Korean women, aged 10 to 80.Contained in each of these biographies is a microcosm of contemporary Korea, and the challenges and injustices that women face from childhood to old age. As with Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, the fates of these eight women are the fates of women the world over. And under Cho Nam-Joo’s precise, unveiled gaze, nothing and nobody escapes scrutiny--not even herself.
