A global sensation, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 “has become…a touchstone for a conversation around feminism and gender” (Sarah Shin, Guardian).

One of the most notable novels of the year, hailed by both critics and K-pop stars alike, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 follows one woman’s psychic deterioration in the face of rampant misogyny. In a tidy apartment on the outskirts of Seoul, millennial “everywoman” Kim Jiyoung spends her days caring for her infant daughter. But strange symptoms appear: Jiyoung begins to impersonate the voices of other women, dead and alive. As she plunges deeper into this psychosis, her concerned husband sends her to a psychiatrist. Jiyoung narrates her story to this doctor—from her birth to parents who expected a son to elementary school teachers who policed girls’ outfits to male coworkers who installed hidden cameras in women’s restrooms. But can her psychiatrist cure her, or even discover what truly ails her? “A social treatise as well as a work of art” (Alexandra Alter, New York Times), Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 heralds the arrival of international powerhouse Cho Nam-Joo.

    Somewhat infuriating to read as a woman, this book brings up all the social inequality and injustices we have to deal with every single day. Highly recommend!

    This is a type of book that makes you both sad and angry because you find yourself and your experience as a woman in this world in between every page. Growing up and going to high school doesn't mean just that; it means suddenly getting aware of how your male classmates perceive you as something rather than someone, going to a dinner organized by your male colleagues doesn't mean just eating something with people you work with; it means sitting through their gazes as if you're an animal in a zoo and getting pregnant and starting a family means getting rid of every dream you ever had.
    The writing of this book flows so easily and is so simply written but that's because this is a harsh reality for so many women- it's those seemingly small things that society does to you that just build up inside of you and that make you start wondering "Do they even see me as a human?"
    Seriously, this book should be given to every man to read because it's crazy how unaware men are when it comes to women's experience in this patriarchal world

Citaten

  • Oscar Angelciteerde uit2 jaar geleden
    They’d done quite a lot of chores around the house since they were young, but they thought of it as helping out their busy parents and taking care of themselves, not learning how to be good women.
  • Maria Araújociteerde uit6 maanden geleden
    This was a time when people believed it was up to the sons to bring honor and prosperity to the family, and that the family’s wealth and happiness hinged upon male success. The daughters gladly supported the male siblings.
  • Mariaciteerde uitvorig jaar
    Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events, locales, or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

    Reading this when flipping the last page seems surreal when you've literally found women you know in between every page of this book. I so wish it was just fiction, but it isn't, for so many of us
