Winter in Sokcho by Elisa Shua Dusapin

Winter in Sokcho by Elisa Shua Dusapin

A young French-Korean woman works at a run-down guesthouse in Sokcho, a tourist town near the DMZ that is empty in winter. A French graphic novelist arrives to work, and she becomes his unofficial guide.

Almost nothing happens between them and the book is entirely about what does not get said — her absent French father, her mother's fish market, the cosmetic surgery everyone assumes she should have, and a man drawing her without ever quite looking at her. Dusapin writes cold, food, and disgust with the body better than almost anyone.

Winner of the National Book Award for Translated Literature. Short, spare and lingering.
