The Martyred Re-Released

Details: Category: Book Café

In marking the sixtieth anniversary of the Korean War, The Korea Society salutes the late Richard Kim, as Penguin Classics re-releases his National Book Award-nominated The Martyred. Kim's first novel is a critically acclaimed bestseller about the Korean War, and was later made into a play, opera, and film.

Susan Choi (A Person of Interest, American Woman) authored the introduction for the new release and speaks to the importance of Kim’s work and its relevance to better understanding between the peoples of Korea and the United States. On its initial release, The New York Times Book Review wrote that Kim’s book stands out “as one written in the great moral and psychological tradition of Job, Dostoevsky, and Albert Camus.”

Please join The Korea Society on this special evening of remembrance of a great author and his work, as well as of those who bore witness to The Korean War. Refreshments will be served during this literary evening.
