No Hand Held Mine: Stories — "Granny Wild Goose" and "The Root's Tale" de Kim Soom

No Hand Held Mine: Stories — "Granny Wild Goose" and "The Root's Tale": DITTA: Korean Humanities in Translation

Autor Kim Soom Cuvânt înainte de Professor Alexis Dudden Traducere de Joon-Li Kim, Doo-Sun Ryu Autor Soom Kim
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 oct 2025 – vârsta ani
An elderly Korean woman talking about being forced into sexual slavery during World War II. A modern Korean woman extricating herself from a failing relationship with an artist. Award-winning South Korean writer Kim Soom presents us with portraits of two women who couldn’t be more different but who both show resilience and compassion. No Hand Held Mine: Stories, containing one non-fiction piece and one short story, demonstrates the power and breadth of Kim’s writing. “Granny Wild Goose” uses former Comfort Woman Gil Won-Ok’s own words, recorded during conversations with Kim, to tell her life story of brutality, betrayal, and survival. In “The Root’s Tale,” the female protagonist comes to understand the strength of solitary women. Both devastating and reaffirming, No Hand Held Mine shows why Kim Soom has received every major literary award in Korea. Joon-Li Kim and Doo-Sun Ryu’s sensitive translation maintains Kim’s lyricism and exquisite imagery.

This book is published with the support of The Daesan Foundation.

Recenzii

"Kim Soom carefully crafts each word and each negative space to articulate women's silenced histories. The unspeakable sings in this devastatingly beautiful book."
"No Hand Held Mine holds translators Joon-Li Kim and Doo-Sun Ryu's tender care to invite the Anglophone audience into Kim Soom's breath ("soom")—her uniquely dreamy, meditative prose and poetic rhythm."
"Two extraordinary novellas. . . . Granny Wild Goose is a breathtaking homage to Gil Won-Ok (1928-2025), one of the last surviving comfort women. . . . Kim unleashes her silence and shatters hearts and souls."

Descriere

In these two stories, "Granny Wild Goose" and "The Root's Tale," award-winning South Korean writer Kim Soom presents portraits of complex women who have emerged wiser from life’s brutality. One is a former comfort woman, one is a modern woman in a failing relationship, yet neither flinches away from their lives. The sensitive translation maintains Kim’s beautiful imagery and musical prose.
