![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Challenged by the second person narrative, we move from deep immersion in the South Korean world of the novel and find ourselves contemplating our own situation. We start thinking about the way we treat our own mothers. Then something strange happens, or at least it happened to me. ![]() How can Mother have gone missing from Seoul station? How can we have neglected her needs? How are we going to get her back? Like the family about whom Kyung-Sook Shin writes so beau tifully, we feel confused, guilty and desperate. Rather than being comfortably in control of the book, we find ourselves struggling to make sense of the situation. What is the effect of this unusual approach? In a word: bewilderment. You, the reader, are drawn into the crisis whether you like it or not. But protests are in vain because this is the rarest of books: a second person narrative. This is how Kyung-Sook Shin’s Please Look After Mother starts and immediately the protests begin. You decide to make flyers and hand them out where Mother was last seen. The family is gathered at your eldest brother Hyong-chol’s house, bouncing ideas off each other. It’s been one week since Mother went missing. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() The book is mostly set in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. How do you think this book handles the blurry line between man and monster? Did you have sympathy for the killer at any point during the book? How did that impact your relationship to the character when the killer was revealed? How does this book explore complex issues like race relations, psychological disorders and social justice? It is clear that the two main characters, Mo Lumen and Francis Palmer, are emotionally and intellectually very different from each other - but in what ways are they alike? Do they share common ground? Why do you think that's important? What clues did you notice in the book that led you to discover the identity of the killer? Did anything throw you off the trail or surprise you? What parallels did you see in the book to the real life crimes committed by serial killers during that era? Did you see similarities to any notorious killers specifically?

This led to what we now call the Western diet – a diet made up of mainly processed foods, stripped of their original nutrients, and repackaged as “healthy” alternative food products. In the past 50 years or so, a whole industry has developed around the idea of nutritionism – an approach to eating based not on food, but on nutrients. Why would we need any help in choosing which food to put into our bodies? We all recognize food when we see it.

Numerous organizations have called on Amazon to stop selling the documentary, which the Washington Free Beacon said “not only denies the Holocaust but also claims Jewish people falsified the historical record about it in order to ‘conceal their nature and protect their status and power.’ It also claims that white people cannot be authentic Jews, a belief that inspired the deadly 2019 shooting at a kosher supermarket” in Jersey City” ![]() ![]() He doesn’t dare hope she’ll ever return his devotion. ![]() To prevent such a fate, Jesse hastily weds Nell.
