Apartment Women by Gu Byeong-mo

Apartment Women by Gu Byeong-mo

A South Korean government scheme offers cheap housing in a communal apartment complex on one condition: each family must have at least three children. Four households move in and agree to share childcare, meals and chores.

It goes wrong in the way these things go wrong — one woman does most of the work, the men's careers are never in question, and the surveillance of a small community turns out to be total. Gu writes the passive-aggression of shared corridors better than anyone, and the book is a precise attack on a birth-rate policy that costs women everything.

From the author of The Old Woman with the Knife. Sharp, claustrophobic and very Korean in its specifics.
