Kyung-sook Shin is the author of numerous works of fiction and is one of South Korea’s most widely read and acclaimed novelists. She has been honored with the Manhae Literature Prize, the Dong-in Literature Prize, and the Yi Sang Literary Prize, as well as France’s Prix de l’Inaperçu. Please Look After Mom is her first book to appear in English and will be published in nineteen countries. Currently a visiting scholar at Columbia University in New York City, she lives in Seoul.
This novel from widely acclaimed Korean author Shin focuses on motherhood and family guilt. Park So-nyo, mother of four now-adult children, has gone missing in a Seoul train station on the way to visit them. The novel is told in four parts, from the perspectives of, first, her daughter, and then, her firstborn son, her husband, and finally, So-nyo herself. Composed almost entirely in second-person narration, the writing is sharp, biting, and intensely moving. So-nyo’s children continually battle with their own guilt for not taking better care of her while reminiscing about the times when they were young, growing up in incredible poverty in the countryside. The children come to terms with their mother’s absence in their own ways, and their father repents for a lifetime of neglect. When So-nyo’s voice enters the narrative, the portrait of a troubled but loving family is complete. Secrets are revealed, and the heart of a mother is beautifully exposed. This Korean million-plus-copy best-seller is an impressive exploration of family love, poverty, and triumphing over hardship.

看得讓人崩潰。不停的煽情,無數瑣碎的細節,支離破碎的迴憶,不停的悔恨,愧疚,自責。傳遞的不過是一種簡單的情感,對母親的愛。看瞭這本書,我高度懷疑韓國沒有搞清楚什麼是文學。這樣的作品,中國的高中生就能寫齣來,而此人卻是韓國“一流”的作傢。 韓國文學最大的特點...
評分關於母親,一定要看的這本書。 作者女兒,兒子,還有老公的角度寫瞭這個故事。 每讀到一個章節,你都會從中感悟許許多多,雖然生活的環境不同,但母愛的價值永遠不會改變的。 看完這本書,趕緊愛自己的親人吧。
評分I still remember why I purchased this book in the first place; I learnt about it one day somewhere near Mother's Day while surfing at Oprah.com (http://www.oprah.com/book/Please-Look-After-Mom-by-Kyung-sook-Shin?editors_pick_id=29973). What struck me mos...
評分我看的是原著,也就是韓語版本。 當時我就想,翻成中文的話能不能完完全全錶達齣這麼細膩的文字。 沒想到中文版本的評價也如此的高,可見譯者的翻譯功夫也非同尋常。 花瞭4天的時間看完。 上班時的公交車上, 老公和孩子睡瞭之後的晚上,我都流過眼淚。 母親沒有自己的人生,...
評分我一直不敢看與親情有關的文藝作品,尤其是母親,血濃於水的情意,創作者各種矯情都沒辦法叫矯情,眼淚水都會嘩嘩嘩掉。這本書齣自韓國當代女性作傢之筆,細膩的筆觸描繪齣瞭一個忍辱負重的母親的形象。 故事開源於一個問題:她是所有人的母親,她是所有被忽略的母親,如...

這本書對我有特彆意義,二讀。
評分Just a pathetic, illiterate woman overwhelmed by her identity as Mom, being taken granted for sacrificing almost everything for the family yet neglected by the families. The story is not appealing to me.
評分漫漫長路,慢慢讀
