10 mejores thrillers para el verano según Time Magazine
EL FENÓMENO COREANO QUE NO TE DEJARÁ DORMIR
Tu cuerpo es tu cárcel. Tu mente, el carcelero. Y si sobrevivir es el verdadero castigo?
Tras un devastador accidente de auto en el que muere su esposa, Ogi despierta en el hospital para descubrir que está atrapado en su propio cuerpo y bajo los cuidados de su suegra, que llora la pérdida de su única hija. Aislado, abandonado por quienes antes lo rodeaban, el mundo de Ogi se reduce a la habitación en la que yace y a sus recuerdos de su pareja, una mujer sensible que encontraba consuelo cultivando el jardín de su casa.
Sin embargo, mientras Ogi permanece solo y paralizado, algo inquietante sucede tras las cuatro paredes de su habitación: día tras día, su suegra remueve la tierra del jardín, arrancando lo que su hija había plantado con tanto esmero y cavando, con una calma perturbadora, agujeros cada vez más hondos, como si buscara el fondo de un pozo invisible. En ese jardín que antes florecía, ahora germina otra cosa: el silencio, la sospecha y la venganza.
Considerada una de las autoras más destacadas de la literatura coreana contemporánea, Hye-young Pyun ha sido reconocida con los galardones más prestigiosos de su país.

THE KOREAN PHENOMENON THAT WILL KEEP YOU AWAKE AT NIGHT
Your body is your prison. Your mind is the jailer. What if surviving is the real punishment?
After a devastating car accident that kills his wife, Ogi wakes up in the hospital to discover he is trapped inside his own body and under the care of his mother-in-law, who mourns the loss of her only daughter. Isolated and abandoned by those who once surrounded him, Ogi's world shrinks to the room where he lies and to his memories of his wife, a sensitive woman who found comfort in tending her garden.
However, while Ogi remains alone and paralyzed, something unsettling begins to happen within the four walls of his room: day after day, his mother-in-law digs into the garden soil, pulling out everything her daughter once planted with such care and calmly digging deeper and deeper holes, as if searching for the bottom of an invisible well. In a garden that once bloomed, something else now takes root: silence, suspicion, and revenge.
Considered one of the most prominent voices in contemporary Korean literature, Hye-young Pyun has been recognized with her country's most prestigious literary awards.
