This month, we review The White Book, by Han Kang; Red Famine, by Anne Applebaum; The Rage, by Julia Ebner and The City Always Wins by Omar Robert Hamilton.
by Han Kang, translated by Deborah Smith (Portobello, ISBN 9781846276293)
Moving to an unfamiliar European city whose present is overshadowed by the memory of a devastating past, the narrator of The White Book finds herself haunted by the story of her older sister, who died just hours after being born.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
