1Nominada para el National Book Award

En la lista de los 100 libros imprescindibles del 2020 de la revista Time y del New York Times.

Su nombre es Kim Ji-young. Tiene 33 años y el nombre más común de Corea. Su historia ha incendiado Asia entera.

«Ni siquiera yo sé si me casaré o si tendré hijos. O puede que me muera antes. Por qué tengo que renunciar a lo que quiero ser o hacer por un futuro que no sé si llegará o no?

Esta novela ha pasado de ser la breve historia de una joven coreana a convertirse en un terremoto que ha sacudido a las mujeres de medio mundo. Kim Ji-young (que lleva el nombre más común entre las mujeres coreanas nacidas en 1982) es aparentemente una mujer como cualquier otra, con una juventud sin pena ni gloria, siempre a la sombra. Todo se retuerce cuando, de repente, Kim empieza a hablar con las voces de su madre, de una amiga desaparecida, de otras muchas mujeres. Lo que parecía una broma adquiere el tono de una respuesta, de una insurrección y, para los demás, el tono de una enfermedad.

Este libro ha sido una embestida para el panorama literario de todos los países en los que se ha publicado. Bajo su aparente sencillez, hay una sensación de peligro que palpita a lo largo de todas sus páginas y que ha abierto una grieta en los estándares de la literatura contemporánea.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Longlisted - National Book Award (Translated Literature)

On the Time magazine 100 must-read books of 2020.

New York Times Notable Book of 2020

Vulture - Best Books of the Year (So Far)

A New York Times Editors Choice Selection

The runaway bestseller that helped launch Korea's new feminist movement, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 follows one woman's psychic deterioration in the face of rigid misogyny.

In a small, tidy apartment on the outskirts of the frenzied metropolis of Seoul, Kim Jiyoung―a millennial "everywoman"―spends her days caring for her infant daughter. Her husband, however, worries over a strange symptom that has recently appeared: Jiyoung has begun to impersonate the voices of other women―dead and alive, both known and unknown to her.

Truly, flawlessly, completely, she became that very person. As she plunges deeper into this psychosis, Jiyoung's concerned husband sends her to a psychiatrist, who listens to her narrate her own life story―from her birth to a family who expected a son, to elementary school teachers who policed girls' outfits, to male coworkers who installed hidden cameras in women's restrooms and posted the photos online. But can her doctor cure her, or even discover what truly ails her? Rendered in eerie prose, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 announces the arrival of a major international writer.
