Reviews
"Bae Suah offers the chance to unknow--to see the everyday afresh and be defamiliarized with what we believe we know--which is no small offering." -- Sophie Hughes, Music & Literature "Bae dissolves conventional ­linear narrative, as though it were impossible for cause and effect to exist concurrently with such repression." -- Joanna Walsh, The National " Nowhere to Be Found [Bae's first novel translated into English] is a psychological novella, but in the most engaging manner, emotionally and aesthetically. Bae presents a psyche, in living depth, without psychoanalyses, without the pretense that psyches are chartable." -- PT Smith, Quarterly Conversation "It's beautiful to read, with the flowing monologues, excellently written, allowing you to lose yourself in the text." -- Tony Malone, Tony's Reading List, "Bae Suah offers the chance to unknow--to see the everyday afresh and be defamiliarized with what we believe we know--which is no small offering." -- Sophie Hughes, Music & Literature "Bae dissolves conventional linear narrative, as though it were impossible for cause and effect to exist concurrently with such repression." -- Joanna Walsh, The National "A challenging yet cognitively engaging and rewarding read." -- David Cooper, The New York Journal of Books " Nowhere to Be Found [Bae's first novel translated into English] is a psychological novella, but in the most engaging manner, emotionally and aesthetically.

Synopsis
"Bae Suah offers the chance to un-know--to see the every-day afresh and be defamiliarized with what we believe we know--which is no small offering."-- Music & Literature The meeting between a group of emigrants and a mysterious, wandering actress in an empty train station sets the stage for Recitation , a fragmentary yet lyrical meditation on language, travel, and memory by South Korea's most prominent contemporary female author. As the actress recounts the fascinating story of her stateless existence, an unreliable narrator and the interruptions of her audience challenge traditional notions of storytelling and identity., A mysterious actress turned wanderer shares her story with a nameless emigrant "chorus" in this novel exploring memory and personhood
