Winter in Sokcho / Elisa Shua Dusapin ; translated by Aneesa Abbas Higgins. by Dusapin, Élisa Shua, 1992- Open Letter, 2021. Call #: FICTION DUS Subjects Receptionists -- Fiction.   Cartoonists -- Fiction.   Man-woman relationships -- Fiction.   Winter -- Fiction.   Korea (South) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781948830416 (trade pbk.) Uniform title:  Hiver à Saokcho. English Edition:  1st ed. Description:  156 p. ; 21 cm. Notes:  In English, translated from the French. Summary:  It's winter in Sokcho, a tourist town on the border between South and North Korea. The cold slows everything down. Bodies are red and raw, the fish turn venomous, beyond the beach guns point out from the North's watchtowers. A young French Korean woman works as a receptionist in a tired guesthouse. One evening, an unexpected guest arrives: a French cartoonist determined to find inspiration in this desolate landscape. The two form an uneasy relationship. When she agrees to accompany him on trips to discover an "authentic" Korea, they visit snowy mountaintops and dramatic waterfalls, and cross into North Korea. But he takes no interest in the Sokcho she knows--the gaudy neon lights, the scars of war, the fish market where her mother works. As she's pulled into his vision and taken in by his drawings, she strikes upon a way to finally be seen. Genre:  Psychological fiction. French fiction -- Translations into English. First novel.
