Book Overview

Park Minwoo is, by every measure, a success story. Born into poverty in a miserable neighborhood of Seoul, he has ridden the wave of development in a rapidly modernizing society. Now the director of a large architectural firm, his hard work and ambition have brought him triumph and satisfaction. But when his company is investigated for corruption, he's forced to reconsider his role in the transformation of his country.

At the same time, he receives an unexpected message from an old friend, Cha Soona, a woman that he had once loved, and then betrayed. As memories return unbidden, Minwoo recalls a world he thought had been left behind--a world he now understands that he has helped to destroy.

From one of Korea's most renowned and respected authors, At Dusk is a gentle yet urgent tale about the things, and the people, that we abandon in our never-ending quest to move forward.

Stunningly emotional

The message of the book is haunting and is very important in this age of rapid industrialization. "is moving on from our supposed liabilities truly going to help us later on?" That is what this book is trying to bring to light. It makes you think outside of the box and really think about the "rags to riches" stories you hear your classmates or colleagues gush over. "How inspiring, what an example!" But is that truly the truth? Or are we just looking at the surface?
