We Do Not Part: A Novel

Leído:
-poesía: Guardé el anochecer en el cajón de #HanKang (creo que se pierde mucho en la traducción entre estos idiomas), La luz de la dinamo de #NuriaBarrios (la mitad no me llegó y la otra me destrozó), y Poesía completa de #GataCattana (ojalá haberla leído hace 10-12 años, me habría flipado).
-narrativa: #Catábasis fue todo lo que quería y más y #OjaláNuncaLoLeas fue más infantil de lo que esperaba, la traducción no ayudó.

En esta casa se banca a Han Kang: nos encanta que nos cause traumas y nos haga sufrir con sus novelas. He leído la contraportada y ya sé lo que nos espera. ¿Dónde destrozarán a un perro en esta novela?

"Atti Umani" di Hai Kang.

Un libro duro, a tratti insostenibile, ma estremamente necessario e attuale.

"Non dico addio" di Han Kang, 256 pagine, Adelphi, edizione 2024.

Innanzitutto #LaVegetariana mi era piaciuto molto di più.

La 1ª parte di #NonDicoAddio mi ha conquistato.
La 2ª è appesantita da un eccesso di dettagli a riferimenti storici coreani.
Resta comunque un buon libro.

2025 book seventy-three: Han Kang: Greek Lessons ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #fiction #bookstodon #bookstagram #books #hankang

Following my post here

https://c.im/@jemmesedi/115483897308266747

I got hold of a copy of "The Vegetarian" and finished it this afternoon.

On one level, this novel - or is it a trilogy of linked novellas? - is a critique in fiction of the repression of women in socially conservative South Korea.

Yet "The Vegetarian" is much more than that, questioning as it does our distinctions between sanity and madness, care and cruelty, and humanity and nature.

More disturbing for me than all the body horror aspects of the book was the suggestion that a supreme moment of creative expression might be inextricably bound up with cruelty, exploitation, and betrayal.

At just under two hundred pages, this is not a long read. Thanks to @isa for your recommendation!

Eine Meditation über die Farbe Weiß. In Südkorea ist Weiß auch die Farbe der Trauer. Und so verbindet die Literatur-Nobelpreisträgerin des Jahres 2024 in diesem bereits 2016 erschienen Werk, Erinnerung an eine Schwester, die sie nie gekannt hat, mit dem, was sie europäischen Stadt erlebt, die im winterlichen Halbschlaf ihr begegnet. Ein knappes Werk von #HanKang, fast ein #Prosagedicht, nicht so stark wie #DieVegetarierin, aber dennoch bereichernd. #kurzrezension #buchbesprechung #fbm25 #fbm2025

"La vegetariana" di Han Kang, 177 pagine, Adelphi, edizione 2019.

#LaVegetariana

Una lettura sorprendente.
Quello narrato da #HanKang è un viaggio poetico, doloroso e affascinante, dove sogni incubi e realtà si fondono nelle vite di questi stupendi personaggi.

Now at #ICLA2025, the special session "Celebrating Han Kang's Nobel Prize Award" in the Grand Ballroom.

Sadly, a missed opportunity for the international visibility of the session and its hero: talks appear to be in #Korean with just the first lines of the abstract in #English shown on the screen. That's quite reductive, I can only suppose. And I have read the abstracts already.

Aika ajoin rupeaa miettimään että mistä se johtuu että jotkut osaavat kirjoittaa. Niin kuin tämäkin kirja, joka tuntuu suorastaan mahdottomalta. Miten tällaista voi olla?

#HanKang "Die Vegetarierin" 👍

"Als sie sich dem Tisch näherte, an dem ich auf sie wartete, fielen mir ihre Schuhe auf. Es waren die schlichtesten schwarzen Schuhe, die man sich vorstellen kann. Und dann dieser Gang, nicht schnell, nicht langsam, nicht raumgreifend und auch nicht trippelnd. So fühlte ich mich weder von ihr angezogen noch abgestoßen und sah daher keinen Grund, sie nicht zu heiraten."

Nur, warum hat sie ihn geheiratet?

Pakko se on sanoa että ihmiset ovat kammottavia otuksia. Tämä kirja sen kertoo.

#kirjat #HanKang

Die Erfahrung lehrt uns, dass es Menschen gibt, dir beim Abschied ihr schärftes Messer hervorholen. Um den anderen, den sie so genau kennen, weil sie ihm nahegestanden haben, an der empfindlichsten Stelle zu treffen. Aus: Han Kang: Unmöglicher Abschied

Jotkut kirjat ovat käsittämättömiä. Ja hyviä. Käsittämättömän hyviä.

It is not true that everything is colored by time and suffering.
It is not true that they bring everything to ruin.

This is my third #hankang book in a row, I'm totally hooked up. Thank you Nobel people

Sain tämän kirjan lainaan kirjastosta pitkällisen jonotuksen jälkeen. En juuri mitään kirjasta etukäteen tiennyt ja hyvä niin. Shokkihoito tekee kai välillä ihan hyvää.

#FirstSentence of Han Kang, *We Do Not Part*

(Starting running thread for any notes here)

#ReadingNotes #Bookstodon #HanKang

- "Das Universum ist eine Illusion und leben ist träumen", entfuhr es mir plötzlich.
Aber das Blut fließt und die Tränen sprudeln. -

Ein Erblindender und eine Verstummte. Die in ihren Träumen und Traumata leben, kaum dass die Leserin folgen und sich miterinnern kann. #HanKang macht das so: Sätze tun so als beschrieben sie eine klare Wirklichkeit, führen aber über Seitenwege ins Dunkle und Unbestimmte. #bookstodon #bücherliebe #2025reads #frauenlesen #books

𝟯 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻” 𝗯𝘆 𝗛𝗮𝗻 𝗞𝗮𝗻𝗴 -

A surreal/but-real tale of a woman who dares to make her own choices and of the struggles of family (most male) who cannot contend with it.

Human Acts (Han Kang)

Not even halfway through yet and this book is blowing my mind. A brilliant translation by Deborah Smith makes it an easy read in the linguistic sense, but emotionally it's challenging.

Such an important topic. I'd known almost nothing about this terrifying era of Korean history. Sad to learn that the US (Carter administration) supported the Korean government's military violence against its own innocent citizens.

> ... the Yi Sang Literary Award, named after one of the strangest writers of any place or time, a hero of mine whose fugitive work and tortured life still baffle and fascinate today. He died in 1937, without a book to his name. But decades later, Han came across a line from his journals—“I believe that humans should be plants”—that inspired The Vegetarian.

Complimenti ad Han #Kang, vincitrice del Premio #Nobel per la #Letteratura 2024, con queste motivazioni:

for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.

Del suo libro "La vegetariana", edito per #Adelphi nel 2016, ha parlato su #AltreModernità Valentina Marcati (definendolo "un’acuta riflessione sulla violenza quale componente insradicabile dalla natura umana"), in questo articolo #OpenAccess:
