My copy of Human Acts by Han Kang arrived last week. 😃 I got it from Blogging For Books. If you're a blogger in the U.S. definitely consider using their service. All you have to do is review the book within 3 months and you get a free book! Anyway, I really enjoyed The Vegetarian, so I'm pretty darn excited about reading Human Acts. 😊 / / #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookphotos #bookphoto #bookgram #instabook #instaread #diversebooks #diversereads #hardcovers #tbr #bookmail #bookish #bookaholic #bookaddict #hankang #humanacts #literaryfiction #adultfiction #readingoutside #reading

Siheun: “This was on a human rights list of books to read. We’re living in the age of Trump where fascism and human rights are coming head to head. People think they’re easily on one side, but then there’s a lot of inaction. How do you move from comfort to doing something that requires you to speak up? History can often provide a guide on how to act. This book is about the Gwangju Uprising. It’s painful to read because there’s a lot of death and you’re watching the character watching trauma unfold. The reader is addressed as ‘you’ so there’s a really blurred sense of self. Where does my being end and begin? What are the boundaries of the self? Koreans are known for being demonstrators and we have an underdog mentality. Hundreds of thousands of people went to Seoul for six weeks straight and forced the President to resign. When we come to America we lose that because we become part of the immigrant and church communities. I’m passionate about organizing. I put 50,000 people on buses to the Women’s March on Washington. It was the hardest I’ve ever worked and also the proudest moment of my life. Free assembly is a constitutional right.” @siheun #HumanActs #HanKang / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽 (at Union Square)
