Mina
Kim Sagwa, Bruce Fulton (translation), Ju-Chan Fulton (translation)“Kim Sagwa is South Korea’s young, brilliant, fearless writer. In Mina, Kim has created a frenzied language of three teenagers—Mina, Minho, & Crystal—living in ‘P City,’ which in Korean sounds the same as ‘Blood City.’ Beneath the immaculately manicured middle-class affluence, chandelier glitter, free-market economy, & Western cultural hegemony runs the blood of Korea’s dictatorial conformity & historical fratricide. The trio are hollow teenagers in the age of globalization—they mirror one another, reflecting, deflecting, & signaling their helplessness & hatred for the world that has created them. Mina is a story of ‘abjection,’ to borrow Kristeva’s term—a state in which ‘meaning collapses.’ Mina leads us to a place where mirrors of the self & world fold, collapse, shatter, & bleed to death. Mina is one of Bruce & Ju-Chan Fulton’s finest translations.” — Don Mee Choi, author of Hardly War
“She doesn’t know what to do, & that amounts to a state of torture.”
Crystal toils day & night to earn top grades at her cram school. She’s also endlessly texting, shopping, drinking, vexing her boyfriends, cranking up her mp3s, & fantasizing about her next slice of cheesecake. Her non-stop frenzy never quite manages the one thing that might calm her down: opening up about the pressures that are driving her to the edge. She certainly hasn’t talked with her best friend, Mina, nor Mina’s brother, whom she’s developing a serious crush on. And Crystal’s starting to lose her grip.
In this shocking English debut, award-winning Korean author Kim Sagwa delivers an astonishingly complex portrait of modern-day adolescence. With pitch-perfect dialogue & a precise eye for detail, Kim creates a piercingly real teen protagonist–at once powerful, vulnerable, & utterly confused. As one bad decision leads to another, this promising life spirals to a devastating climax.
