North Station

A writer struggles to come to terms with the death of her beloved mentor; the staging of an experimental play goes awry; time freezes for two lovers on a platform, waiting for the train that will take one of them away; a woman living in a foreign country discovers she has been issued with the wrong ID. Emotionally haunting, intellectually stimulating, the seven stories in North Station represent the range and power of Bae Suah''s distinctive voice and style, which delights in digressions, multiple storylines, and sudden ruptures of societal norms.
