“One year, red tide began to devastate the fish farms, forcing them to close down one by one.” Conglomerates buy up the land at bargain-basement prices, jostling and merging for profits and eventually spawning a city-state, known as Town, founded on the principle of plutocracy. “The village had lived off the fish farm for generations,” Nam-Joo writes. The novel’s premise is chilling: A vibrant coastal community is crushed beneath the iron boot of corporations. In an exclusive, Oprah Daily reveals the cover for Nam-Joo’s Saha, a dystopian tale set amid a run-down housing complex, charting the fates and foibles of a range of characters as they hold on-barely-in a society devoted to the expansion of inequity. South Korea, in particular, teems with emerging talents, such as 43-year-old novelist-cum-scriptwriter Cho Nam-Joo, whose Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, was a literary revelation, firing up bestseller lists in her own country and winning widespread acclaim in an impeccable English translation by Jamie Chang, longlisted for the 2020 National Book Award.
