Han Kang's vivid and at times violent storytelling will wake up even the most jaded of literary palates
Independent
Han Kang is a writer like no other. In a few lines, she seems to traverse the entirety of human experience
Katie Kitamura
Another stunning gem: quiet, sharply faceted, and devastating
Kirkus
Han Kang's hypnotic Greek Lessons probes the limits of language
The Straits Times
An elliptical, enigmatic book . . . Han's style creates mystery
The Economist
In Greek Lessons Kang reaches beyond the usual senses to translate the unspeakable . . . Han Kang turns the well-worn idea of the mind-body disconnect into something fresh and substantial
Los Angeles Times
This novel is a celebration of the ineffable trust to be found in sharing language . . . [Han] is an astute chronicler of unusual, insubordinate women
The New York Times
By turns love letter to and critique of language itself, Greek Lessons is a brief yet, in its concision and finesse, lapidary work . . . one of Han's most intimate works
Financial Times
Han Kang is what most writers spend their lives trying to be: a fearless, unsentimental teller of human truths . . . Han Kang is a genius
Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies
