FictionKim Hye-jin, Concerning my daughter
Posted May 18, 2022 by briscoe in Books

Has anybody read "Concerning my daughter"? It just came out yesterday in Italy, and I fell in love with it. Is anybody familiar with korean radfem culture? I have the feeling that the writer, as a lesbian activist, could be involved in radfem circles. The lesbian characters use nicknames, maybe they're from radfem forums. Any thoughts?
