Now playing: Human Acts

Bestselling Audiobooks keeps Human Acts on the listening list — press play whenever a spare hour appears.

Published January 17th 2017 by Random House Audio (first published May 19th 2014) Gwangju, South Korea, 1980. In the wake of a viciously suppressed student uprising, a boy searches for his friend’s corpse, a consciousness searches for its abandoned body, and a brutalised country searches for a voice. In a sequence of interconnected chapters the victims and the bereaved encounter censorship, denial, forgiveness and the echoing agony of the original trauma.
