Description for When Adam Opens His Eyes
Paperback. Num Pages: 160 pages. BIC Classification: FA; FYT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 215 x 138 x 10. Weight in Grams: 200.
First published in 1990, this is a sensational and highly controversial novel by one of Korea's most electrifying contemporary authors. A preposterous coming-of-age story, melding sex, death, and high school in a manner reminiscent of some perverse collision between Georges Bataille and Beverly Cleary, the narrator of this book plows through contemporaneous Korean mores with aplomb, bound for destruction, or maturity--whichever comes first.
