About Kyung-sook Shin
Acclaimed author of The Court Dancer and Please Look After Mom
The 2012 winner of the Man Asian Literary Prize
[An] atmospheric, tragic novel ... Sorrow threads itself through the pages of The Court Dancer,
yet there is a richness both to the period and the narrative as beautiful as any silk fan.
Kyung-sook Shin has become one of South Korea's most popular authors, and for good reason.
Her deep understanding of the subtleties of the human heart effortlessly crosses borders
and informs her portrait of a different place and a faraway time.
