The unforgettable novel from Booker International Prize winner Han Kang, author of The Vegetarian.

In this compelling and beautifully-patterned novel, Han Kang tells the interwoven stories of a Greek instructor who is losing his sight and a woman who refuses to speak. Uniquely involving, and thoughtful, it explores the depths and limits of human connection.

A remarkable and timeless writer, Han Kang's words and stories go to the heart of what it means to be human - to be a species capable of both utmost violence and utmost love. With enormous tact, clarity and tenderness she examines the lives of the overlooked and the little seen, affording them a grace and dignity which makes them unforgettable.

'Han Kang is what most writers spend their lives trying to be: a fearless, unsentimental teller of human truths' Lisa McInerney

'Han Kang's vivid and at times violent storytelling will wake up even the most jaded of literary palates' Independent

Commentaires

By turns love letter to and critique of language itself, Greek Lessons is a brief yet, in its concision and finesse, lapidary work . . . one of Han's most intimate works
In Greek Lessons Kang reaches beyond the usual senses to translate the unspeakable . . . Han Kang turns the well-worn idea of the mind-body disconnect into something fresh and substantial
This novel is a celebration of the ineffable trust to be found in sharing language . . . [Han] is an astute chronicler of unusual, insubordinate women
Han Kang is a writer like no other. In a few lines, she seems to traverse the entirety of human experience (Katie Kitamura)
Han Kang's vivid and at times violent storytelling will wake up even the most jaded of literary palates
An elliptical, enigmatic book . . . Han's style creates mystery
Han Kang's hypnotic Greek Lessons probes the limits of language
Han Kang is what most writers spend their lives trying to be: a fearless, unsentimental teller of human truths . . . Han Kang is a genius (Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies)
Another stunning gem: quiet, sharply faceted, and devastating
