En "Solo las mujeres desaparecen" se reúnen los cuentos de ocho jóvenes autoras coreanas. La mirada femenina sobre el gótico y el thriller revisita los lugares comunes de esos géneros para explorar los distintos tipos de violencia que sufren las protagonistas (ya no) silenciadas. Desde la mansión embrujada a la otredad del pasado colonial, la pregunta siempre es la misma: ¿Dónde están esas mujeres que no volvieron?

Kang Hwagil
Author · 3 books
강 화길 (Kang Hwagil) is a young Korean writer best known for her 2017 novel Dareun Saram (‘Others’) which won her the Hankyoreh Literature Award as well as a Young Authors’ Prize. She was heralded by the Hankyoreh panel as a ‘new voice’ and received much praise for her fearlessly honest portrayal of Korean society, carrying a confrontational message. A champion of feminist writing in her own right, Kang is often mentioned in one breath with Cho Namjoo, whose Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 brought gender equality and #MeToo to the forefront of South-Korea’s national debate, following its publication in 2016. Kang’s hit novel, like Cho’s, seems to have struck a chord also by way of its unembellished style. She excels in sparse, almost understated prose, leaving the reader to appreciate, in its purest form, the gravity of what is being said.
