Softcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Suzy Park is a twenty-nine-year-old Korean American interpreter for the New York City court system who makes a startling and ominous discovery about her family history that will send her on a chilling quest. Five years prior, her parents--hardworking greengrocers who forfeited personal happiness for their children's gain--were brutally murdered in an apparent robbery of their store. But the glint of a new lead entices Suzy into the dangerous Korean underworld, and ultimately reveals the mystery of her parents' homicide.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. New condition light gray boards with black spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color illustrated and photographic dust jacket. Includes Dedication; Prologue; Acknowledgments; and Author's Note. Illustrated with black-and-white photograph and map. 3rd Printing. "Every day, three times a day, the students march in two straight lines, singing praises to Kim Jong-il and North Korea: "Without you, there is no motherland. Without you, there is no us." It is a chilling scene, but gradually Suki Kim, too, learns the tune and finds herself humming it. It is 2011, and all universities in North Korea have been shut down for an entire year, the students sent to construction fields - except for the 270 students at the all-mail Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST), a walled compound where portraits of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il look on impassively from the walls of every room, and where Suki has accepted a job teaching English. Over the next six months, she will eat three meals a day with her young charges and struggle to teach them to write, all under the watchful eye of the regime. Life at PUST is lonely and claustrophobic, especially for Suki, whose letters are read by censors and who must hide her notes and photographs not only from her minders but from her colleagues - evangelical Christian missionaries who don't know or choose to ignore that Suki doesn't share their faith. As the weeks pass, she is mystified by how easily her students lie, unnerved by their obedience to the regime. At the same time, they offer Suki tantalizing glimpses of their private selves - their boyish enthusiasm, their eagerness to please, the flashes of curiosity that have not yet been extinguished. She in turn begins to hint at the existence of a world beyond their own - at such exotic activities as surfing the Internet or traveling freely and, more dangerously, at electoral democracy and other ideas forbidden in a country where defectors risk torture and execution. But when Kim Jong-il dies, and the boys she has come to love appear devastated, she wonders whether the gulf between her world and theirs can ever be bridged. [The book] offers a moving and incalculably rare glimpse of life in the world's most unknowable country, and of the privileged young men she calls "soldiers and slaves." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condition: Nuevo. 336 pp. «Sin ti no hay nosotros, sin ti no hay patria.» Estos versos hacen referencia a Kim Jong- il, Gran General de Corea del Norte, cuyo «ánimo solícito» condujo la nación hasta su muerte el 17 de diciembre de 2011. Pocos meses antes, Suki Kim, ciudadana estadounidense nacida en Corea del Sur, logró asomarse a las vidas de 270 estudiantes de la élite norcoreana, a los que enseñó inglés mientras el resto de las universidades del país permanecían cerradas. Con ellos compartió la claustrofobia de la formación marcial y la vigilancia ineludible, mientras almacenaba notas en una memoria USB que siempre llevaba consigo. Pero «hasta una cárcel puede parecer un hogar a veces», y unos muchachos entrenados para mentir sistemáticamente, una familia. "Sin ti no hay nosotros" es el testimonio único, profundamente revelador y terriblemente emotivo, de una joven profesora rodeada de violencia, entregada a la enseñanza clandestina de la libertad. «La historia que explica Suki Kim es capaz de dejar a cualquiera perplejo y completamente abrumado». Publishers Weekly «Impresionante.Nos recuerda que la maldad no es solo banal, también es completamente arbitraria». The New York Times.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 304 pages. Published in 2003. The author's breakthrough debut novel. One of the most important literary debuts of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Suki Kim's "The Interpreter". Her first novel. "A spare and often terrifying novel that centers on New York City's Korean community. Rich in detail and grim in outlook, it introduces Suzy Park, a 29-year-old interpreter, whose work involves her in agencies throughout the five boroughs. A routine translating job reveals that her parents were not murdered by random violence, as the police had indicated, but instead had been shot by political enemies. The novel tracks her investigation into what really happened. As she delves, she discovers Korean gangs, gambling and prostitution rings, and an insular culture with its own rules and practices" (Library Journal). "As Park's investigations lead closer to the truth, the novel's gloom becomes a luminous darkness and the latter-half has an almost hypnotic effect" (Publishers Weekly). An absolute "must-have" title for Suki Kim collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and placed in black pen on the title page by the author: "Suki Kim NYC". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. It comes with the FSG promotional card, also very prominently and beautifully signed, dated (shortly after publication), and inscribed in black pen by the author: "Thank you for your lovely note. It makes me tremendously happy knowing that the book is finding its readers out there, such as yourself. Best wishes to you. Sincerely, Suki Kim, March 21, 2003". This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing and publisher's promotional card available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed set thus. One of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine set. ISBN 0374177139. Signed by Author.
