I read this novel recently and and would recommend it to anyone with an interest in Korean and East Asian literature, culture, and history.

In addition, readers wanting to read fiction focused on the working class will find this a rewarding book.

Admirers of Latin American magical realist writing might well engage with the author's "mindam realism".
