Showing results for "Kim" in Short Stories

Twelve women confront the mounting existential terrors of modern life in this absurd, wryly hilarious debut story collection. A woman's limbs disappear into “the cloud” during wildfire-induced power outages. A lonely DoorDasher accidentally becomes the star of someone else's reality show...

Las ocho mujeres que protagonizan estos relatos tienen edades muy dispares, pero todas se enfrentan a grandes desafíos: el machismo que las circunda a diario, la familia que las silencia, el medio laboral que las discrimina, algunas amistades inconsistentes o el imparable paso del tiempo.

"Miss Kim weiß Bescheid" versammelt die Leben von sieben koreanischen Frauen im Alter von 10 und 80 Jahren. Jede einzelne dieser stellvertretenden Frauenbiografien wird vor einem aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Thema in Korea verhandelt: das heimliche Filmen von Frauen in der Öffentlichkeit, Hatespeech und Cybermobbing auf Social-Media-Plattformen, häusliche Gewalt, Gaslighting, weibliche Identität im Alter und die Ungleichbehandlung am Arbeitsplatz. Auch sich selbst, die plötzlich weltbekannte Autorin, nimmt sie ins Visier.

But Ireland, the challenging and sexy-as-hell cocktail waitress who works downstairs at the hotel’s swanky bar, is exactly what he needs. She's his muse whether she likes it or not. Too bad she doesn't date musicians.
