  5. Global Literatures: Han Kang & Elif Shafak
    Course start date:  Wed 16 Jul 2025

    Location on this date:  Keeley Street

    Tutors:  Lizzy Attree
    Join us for an exploration of the ways we experience global literatures of our time. Inter-generational memory is the focus of two prize-winning novels, The Vegetarian (2007) by Han Kang and The Island of Missing Trees (2021) by Elif Shafak. Unearthing the painful truths of history in the context of culturally/politically divided Korea and Cyprus, the authors deal delicately, and brutally, with love, the environment, patriarchy, resistance and the metamorphosis of the female body.
