To everyone saying that I’m destroying my books by annotating them, have you considered that they destroyed me first? 

Perhaps I am not bringing my pen and marker into innocent books. Perhaps this is revenge.

Some demeaned it as “bumming around at home,” while others glorified it as “work that sustains life,” but none tried to calculate its monetary value. Probably because the moment you put a price on something, someone has to pay.

He likes me? He picks on me because he likes me? Jiyoung was confused. She went over the series of incidents that she had suffered because of him, and still couldn’t make sense of what the teacher was saying. If you like someone, you’re friendlier and nicer to them. To friends, to family, to your pet dogs and cats. Even at the age of eight, this was common sense to Jiyoung. The desk-mate’s pranks made school life so difficult for her. What he’d put her through was awful enough, and now the teacher was making her out to be a bad child who misunderstood her friend.

books read this week & mini reviews

kim jiyoung born 1982 by cho nam-joo 📚

a really interesting book about the experience of being a woman in south korea. despite being fairly short, it still gets the message of gender politics across in a way that is written so well. - 4 stars

fen by daisy johnson 🌳

a re-read! first time i read this i thought it was a bit weird and was just confused, but this time i really enjoyed it as i actually understood what was happening. a lovely, eccentric, mythical collection of short stories centred around the female sexuality of women living in fens. - 3.75 stars

all the young dudes 🌙

i absolutely adore remus lupin. yes this is fanfiction but it's a must-read for all harry potter (marauders) fans. i was in tears for the last quarter of the book but it was perfect. - 4.5 stars

"It was a given that fresh rice hot out of the cooker was served in the order of father, brother, and grandmother, and that perfect pieces of tofu, dumplings, and patties were the brother's while the girls ate the ones that fell apart. The brother had chopsticks, socks, long underwear, and school and lunch bags that matched, while the girls made do with whatever was available... That's how it had always been."

Analysis: Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982

“What do you want from us? The dumb girls are too dumb. The smart girls are too smart. And the average girls are too unexceptional.” In 2019, there was a change in Korea. Many people were debating frequently over a book which had taken the nation by storm. People either loved it or hated it. This book was so controversial that celebrities like Red Velvet’s Irene were boycotted for reading it.…

It was a given that fresh rice hot out of the cooker was served in the order of father, brother, and grandmother, and that perfect pieces of tofu, dumplings, and patties were the brother's while the girls ate the ones that fell apart. The brother had chopsticks, socks, long underwear, and school and lunch bags that matched, while the girls made do with whatever was available. If there were two umbrellas, the girls shared. If there were two treats, the girls shared. If there were two blankets, the girls shared. It didn't occur to the child Jiyoung that her brother was receiving special treatment, so she wasn't even jealous. That's how it had always been. There were times when she had an inking of a situation not being fair, but she was accustomed to rationalizing things by telling herself that she was being a generous older sibling and that she shared with her sister because they were both girls. Jiyoung's mother would praise the girls for taking good care of their brother and not competing for her love. Jiyoung thought it must be the big age gap. The more their mother praised, the more impossible it became for Jiyoung to complain.

I don’t know what ‘human nature’ is. Maybe leaving descriptions of what we wipe out is part of human nature […]

— Ursula K. Le Guin; The Word for World is Forest

January Reads!

A Room of One’s Own & Three Guineas by Virginia Woolf — 4.25/5: two very good essays that should definitely be read together (and are thus usually paired up anyway), I enjoyed Three Guineas even more than A Room bc imo it went deeper into analysis of patriarchal structures and systems that uphold them such as capitalism and its connections to war and fascism. both still just as relevant today as they were then.

Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka — 4.5/5: i mean, yk? what’s there to say: finally got round to reading this after reading sm of his other work and hugely enjoyed this (no surprise here)

Malina by Ingeborg Bachmann — 4/5: such an interesting story! the style reminded me a lot of Wolf’s (+++); a novel to just dive into without reading too much about it beforehand. great if you’re into character ruminations and unwinding childhoods and relationships

Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo — 5/5: gave into the hype and wasn’t disappointed! a very quick read but such a good one! would love to read more stories like this one (Malina actually reminded me a little of it). love how the author got her point across in so few words without missing anything

The Word for World is Forest by Ursula K. Le Guin — 4.75/5: Le Guin my beloved <3 one of her shorter works of the Hainish cycle (afaik) but carries such a punch! there really are no easy answers, are there? how does the very necessary fight against oppression change the oppressed? can you put the weapons (and the war) down afterwards?

The Wall by Marlen Haushofer — 4.25/5: the premise of this novel was what initially caught my attention — a woman is separated from the rest of the world by an invisible wall behind which the rest of the world seemingly has been frozen/has died — but reading it, it is so much more than some scifi-esque story element (= the weird wall). it’s both depressing and oppressive and yet so full of hope and a deep longing for life and a will to keep going despite despite despite. also the way Haushofer shows care and tenderness persevering in the human heart is beautiful.

resenha #6︱kim jiyoung, nascida em 1982

"Enquanto os agressores tinham medo de perder uma pequena parte de seus privilégios, as vítimas corriam o risco de perder tudo."

avaliação: ★★★★★

Tão aclamado que recebeu uma adaptação para televisão, a febre de Kim Jiyoung, Nascida em 1982 atingiu o mundo em 2021. Dando voz as mulheres que sofrem até hoje com a desigualdade de gênero, focando principalmente na realidade coreana, Cho Nam-Joo, ex-roteirista, nos leva até um pequeno apartamento em Seul, onde acompanhamos a introdução de uma menina a vida árdua de ser mulher.

Neste livro, Kim Jiyoung é apenas mais uma mulher como todas as outras. Vivendo na Coreia do Sul, teve de largar seu trabalho para cuidar da filha recém nascida, e desde então não foi a mesma. Após começar a apresentar sintomas estranhos, a personificação de outras mulheres — vivas e mortas — em sua voz, o marido aconselha sua ida ao psiquiatra.

Em busca de uma cura, o médico a faz refletir sobre toda sua vida, o que nos leva diretamente a 1982, ano em que nasceu. Novos pontos de vista sobre sua vida surgem, desde o desfavorecimento dela quando ao lado do irmão até a maneira como homens a vigiaram em todas as etapas de sua vida. Será que ao fim, o médico saberá o que atormenta Kim Jiyoung?

"O que você quer de nós? As garotas burras são burras demais, as garotas inteligentes são inteligentes demais e as garotas que estão na média são medianas demais?"

Trazendo reflexões sérias sobre a realidade feminina em um mundo misógino, o livro nos mostra desde questões políticas e culturais até vivências diárias, como parceiros de trabalho que escondem câmeras nos banheiros para, posteriormente, depositar o conteúdo em sites pornográficos. Por mais que dê ênfase a vida coreana, é narrado de tal forma que qualquer mulher, independente de sua etnia ou nacionalidade, possa se identificar.

É uma história sobre resistência e a culpa que os homens descartam sobre as mulheres. De acordo com o pai de Kim, todo o assédio que sofria era inteiramente culpa dela, e o marido concordava com a cultura do país onde as mulheres tinham de abandonar toda a carreira construída assim que tivessem o primeiro filho. Em diversas cenas, percebemos a desigualdade entre a personagem e seus colegas de trabalho, principalmente em processos seletivos, assim como a normalização do aborto ao descobrirem o sexo do bebê. Por mais que esta seja uma obra de ficção, todos os dados, estatísticas e porcentagens utilizados no livro foram retirados de fontes reais e verídicas.

Diante do crescimento de Kim Jiyoung ao decorrer da narração, nos deparamos com a mudança na política do país, onde deixam para trás as políticas de controle de natalidade — onde controlavam as crianças que nasciam, dando privilégio aos fetos masculinos e, na maior parte das vezes, abortando os femininos — e aderindo uma nova legislação contra a discriminação de gênero.

"Naquela época, as pessoas acreditavam. Que era responsabilidade dos filhos homens levar honra e prosperidade para a família e que a prosperidade e a felicidade da família dependiam do sucesso deles. As filha sustentavam os irmãos homens com prazer."

Foi um livro doloroso de se ler. Tão sincero e nu. A história de Kim Jiyoung deve ser lida por todas as mulheres que já se sentiram desrespeitadas ou que vivem nessas constantes incertezas e medos do que os homens ou nosso próprio país e capaz. Li ele mais ou menos dois anos atrás e tenho vontade de reler mais para frente, pois acredito que é o tipo de livro que você vai desenvolvendo diferentes mentalidades e pontos de vista conforme o lê mais vezes, assim como desejo ter mais experiências nessa vida de mulher para relacionar com as de Kim Jiyoung.
