as many of us, in 2020 I picked up a book again after a long time of not reading for pleasure. I had heard about human acts by Han Kang and decided to give it a try. I was completely surprised by this mostly simple but extremely real and moving story. I do not know if I have also attached the nostalgia of my story of becoming a reader to this book, but every time I think about it, I feel positively overwhelmed. overwhelmed and comforted to remember these characters and be placed back in this story.
definitely a must read. I was delighted to know that Han Kang received the Nobel Prize for Literature. It was most certainly deserved.
