Mater 2-10 - Hwang Sok-Yong

Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize International Booker–nominated virtuoso Hwang Sok-yong is back with another powerful story ― an epic, multi-generational tale that threads together a century of Korean history. Centred on three generations of a family of rail workers and a laid-off factory worker staging a high-altitude sit-in, Mater 2-10 vividly depicts the lives of ordinary working Koreans, starting from the Japanese colonial era, continuing through Liberation, and right up to the twenty-first century.
