#302 - Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo

We're back! After an unintended extended hiatus dealing with the double whammy of early parenthood and uncontrollable wildfires, Books & Boba is back with our belated discussion of our December 2024 book club pick Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo and translated by Jamie Chang, a seminal modern text about what it's like to be a woman in modern Korea. Helping us discuss this short but dense novel is our special guest Virginia Duan, writer and entertainment editor of Mochi Mag!
