An elderly Korean woman talking about being forced into sexual slavery during World War II. A modern Korean woman extricating herself from a failing relationship with an artist. Award-winning South Korean writer Kim Soom presents us with portraits of two women who couldn't be more different but who both show resilience and compassion. No Hand Held Mine: Stories, containing one non-fiction piece and one short story, demonstrates the power and breadth of Kim's writing. "Granny Wild Goose" uses former Comfort Woman Gil Won-Ok's own words, recorded during conversations with Kim, to tell her life story of brutality, betrayal, and survival. In "The Root's Tale," the female protagonist comes to understand the strength of solitary women. Both devastating and reaffirming, No Hand Held Mine shows why Kim Soom has received every major literary award in Korea. Joon-Li Kim and Doo-Sun Ryu's sensitive translation maintains Kim's lyricism and exquisite imagery. This book is published with the support of The Daesan Foundation.…
