They were three of the greatest minds in history. But before they changed the world, they were children. Raising Genius tells the untold parenting stories of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Albert Einstein, and Steve Jobs—and reveals the price of brilliance. Mozart’s father paraded him across Europe as a child prodigy, driving him to dazzling heights and early ruin. Einstein’s mother pushed him relentlessly, molding a stubborn dreamer into the world’s most famous scientist. Steve Jobs was adopted by a machinist and a bookkeeper, raised in a California garage where craftsmanship met ...

Las ocho mujeres que protagonizan estos relatos tienen edades muy dispares, pero todas se enfrentan a grandes desafíos: el machismo que las circunda a diario, la familia que las silencia, el medio laboral que las discrimina, algunas amistades inconsistentes o el imparable paso del tiempo.

Esta novela ha pasado de ser la breve historia de una joven coreana a convertirse en un terremoto que ha sacudido a las mujeres de medio mundo. Kim Ji-young (que lleva el nombre más común entre las mujeres coreanas nacidas en 1982) es aparentemente una mujer como cualquier otra, con una juventud sin pena ni gloria, siempre a la sombra.

In a small, tidy apartment on the outskirts of the frenzied metropolis of Seoul lives Kim Jiyoung. A 30-something-year-old “millennial everywoman”, she has recently left her white-collar desk job - in order to care for her newborn daughter full-time - as so many Korean women are expected to do. But she quickly begins to exhibit strange symptoms that alarm her husband, parents, and in-laws: Jiyoung impersonates the voices of other women - alive and even dead, both known and unknown to her.

Written in Cho Nam-joo’s signature razor-sharp prose, Miss Kim Knows follows eight women as they confront how gender shapes and orders their lives. A woman is born. A woman is filmed in public without consent. A woman is gaslit. A woman is discriminated against at work. A woman grows old. A woman becomes famous. A woman is hated, and loved, and then hated again. As with Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, these microcosmic stories prove eerily relatable under Cho Nam-joo’s precise, unveiled gaze, offering another captivating read from an essential voice in fiction.

In her signature sharp prose, brilliantly translated by Jamie Chang, Nam-Joo returns with this haunting account of a neglected housing complex in the shadows of Town: a former fishing village bought out by a massive conglomerate.
