An extraordinary, ground-breaking, epic multi-generational novel about a Korean family living under Japanese occupation.
In 1930s Japanese-occupied Korea, Lee Woo-Cheol was a running prodigy & a contender for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. But he would have had to run under the Japanese flag.Nearly a century later, his granddaughter is living in Japan & training to run a marathon herself. With the help of powerful Korean shamans, she summons the spirit of Lee Woo-Cheol only to be immersed in the memories of her grandfather, his brother, Lee Woo-Gun, & their neighbour, a young teen who was tricked into becoming a comfort woman for Japanese soldiers.
A meditative dance of generations, The End of August is a semi-autobiographical investigation into nationhood & family - what you are born into & what is imposed. Yu Miri’s distinct prose, rhythmically translated by Morgan Giles, explores the minutiae of generational trauma, shedding light on the postwar migration of Koreans to Japan.
