Description

‘A mesmerising debut. Dark, twisted and bracingly empathetic’ Diana Reid, author of Love and Virtue

Winner of the 2017 Hankyoreh Literary Award

—————-

Who is Jina?

The stupid woman who ruined a young man’s promising career?

The weird loner whose university boyfriend thinks she has a victim complex?

The naive country girl who ignored a friend’s cry for help?

The survivor?

To answer these questions, Jina will have to return to Anjin University and the toxic culture that destroyed the lives of many female students – including one, Ha Yuri, who died tragically and mysteriously not long before she left.

Publisher Review

'Dark Academia the way I like it: Another Person is one of those novels where you're never sure who you should be rooting for, or if you should be rooting for anyone at all. Smart, and full of suspense, it will keep you guessing until the end.' - Hanna Bervoets, author of We Had to Remove This Post 'Sharp societal commentary and amazing, complex female characters. An unusual, unpredictable thriller' - Simone Campos, author of Nothing Can Hurt You Now 'This is not a remote-controlled weapon aiming at us from a distance. This is a novel standing right before us like a stone-age axe, hacking at our blunted hearts. A novel not like a drone, but like dynamite; more like a dagger than an arrow. In an ever-more misogynistic society, day after day feminism plots its self-transformation-Another Person is its latest weapon. I love Kang Hwagil's direct and primal writing style. I love her perseverance and courage, not to gracefully skirt around a topic, but instead to shout out, 'This is not okay' - Cheong Yeoul, writer 'This novel exposes and interrogates. Another Person's protagonists Yuri, Jina and Sujin-as well as the countless women within the 'brackets' of the Korean context-are screaming out... This is a novel that will spark debate.' - Young-Sook Kang, author of Rina 'A novel so immaculately-crafted, shocking, and moving, it's hard to believe it's the author's first; this is what Kang Hwagil's ANOTHER PERSON is to me' - Sang Young Park, author of the International Booker-longlisted Love in the Big City
