SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE? International Booker–nominated virtuoso Hwang Sok-yong is back with another powerful story — an epic, multi-generational tale that threads together a century of Korean history.

It is at once a gripping account that captures a nation’s...

Hwang Sun-won (1915-2000) is one of modern Korea's masters of narrative prose. Trees on a Slope (1960) is his most accomplished novel--one of the few Korean novels to describe in detail the physical and psychological horrors of the Korean War.

The war affects the men in different ways. Before he can return home, Tong-ho takes his own life after shooting...
