描述
A novel of the black markets of the South Vietnamese city of Danang during the Vietnam War, based on the author’s experiences as a self-described South Korean mercenary on the side of the South Vietnamese, this is a Vietnam War novel like no other, truly one that sees the war from all sides. Scenes of battle are breathtakingly well told. The plot is thick with intrigue & complex subplots. But ultimately The Shadow of Arms is a novel of the human condition rather than of the exploits & losses of one side or the other in war.Hwang Sok-yong was born in 1943 & is arguably Korea’s most renowned author. In 1993, he was sentenced to seven years in prison for an unauthorised trip to the North to promote exchange between artists in North & South Korea. Five years later, he was released on a special pardon by the new president. The recipient of Korea’s highest literary prizes & shortlisted for the Prix Femina Etranger, his novels & shorts stories are published in North & South Korea, Japan, China, France, Germany, & the United States. Previous novels include The Ancient Garden, The Story of Mister Han, The Guest, & The Shadow of Arms.

"A young corporal serving in the Korean armed forces during the Vietnam War is transferred to the Allied Forces' Criminal Investigation Division in Da Nang. His assignment is to keep an eye on the black market that is flourishing in the country, feeding on the US dollars pouring into an imperialist war. In the thick web of black market dealings, ideals and ambitions cross and collide. Two Vietnamese brothers find themselves on opposing sides of the war. A Korean beauty hopes to buy herself a new life. The young corporal struggles to remain indifferent to a war that doesn't directly concern him, in the hope that he will be able to forget all that he has seen and done when he returns home. Trafficking, blackmail, profiteering, and hoarding are set alongside the atrocities and brutalities of a hellish war, making Hwang Sok-yong's The Shadow of Arms different from other Vietnam War novels, his voice the wry and compassionate one of a universal noncombatant"-- Provided by publisher
备用描述
From the acclaimed author of Long Bright River and Heft , a novel that allows us to take a peek behind the curtain of the music industry
Liz Moore shows us the inner workings of an industry we’ve been fascinated with for decades. In these fourteen linked episodes, we meet a cast of characters from all the corners of the industry that we’ve come to glamourize. There’s the arrogantly hip, twenty-six-year-old A&R man; the rising young singer-songwriter; the established, arena-filling rock star on the verge of a midlife crisis; the type-A female executive with the heavy social calendar; and other recognizable figures.
Set in the sleek offices, high-tech recording studios, and grungy downtown clubs of New York, The Words of Every Song offers an authenticity drawn from Liz Moore’s own experience and brings an insider’s touch to its depiction of the music industry and its denizens.

There's the arrogantly hip, twenty-six-year-old A & R man; the rising young singer-songwriter; the established, arena-filling rock star on the verge of a midlife crisis; the type-A female executive with the heavy social calendar; and other recognizable figures.
