Content:
Amarâq, Eastern Greenland, the end of the world. A lonely, cold, hard place, yet one that's filled with boundless joy and bewitching natural magic, Amarâq plays host to an annual tragedy: a spate of suicides races through the town each spring, a plague that leaves no family untouched. "Anatomy of a Night" details the events of one of these black nights, following the lives of eleven of Amarâq's inhabitants - their loves and losses, their escapes from Amarâq and their inevitable returns, each victory and every defeat magnified by the unforgiving and unforgettably desolate landscape - and paints a portrait of a mysterious phenomenon that strikes a nearly-forgotten people, the Inuit of Greenland. Anatomy of a Night is a hauntingly beautiful and moving wonder from "one of the great voices of her generation." (Tiroler Tageszeitung) Anna Kim was born in 1977 in Daejeon, South Korea. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Austrian State Fellowship for Literature, the Elias Canetti Fellowship, the Robert Musil Fellowship, and the 2009 Austrian Prize for Literature. Her novel "Frozen Time" was published in English translation in 2010.
