Emily McLean reviewed Unknown Night and Day by Bae Suah
Review of 'Unknown Night and Day' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
Disorienting and dreamlike, this is a novel that can only be understood in its own reality. Characters morph in person and in role, background plots shift to new contexts, new meanings, and entirely incompatible yet simultaneously real truths exist. All these are grounded and tied together through the use of repetition, the White Bus circling Seoul, the body between the ceiling and roof, The Blind Owl.
