Winner of the Munhakdongne Novel Award, South Korea's most prestigious literary prize. Cabinet 13 looks exactly like any normal filing cabinet…Except this cabinet is filled with files on the 'symptomers', humans whose strange abilities and bizarre experiences might just mark the emergence of a new species. But to Mr Kong, the harried office worker whose job it is to look after the cabinet, the symptomers are a headache; especially the one who won't stop calling every day, asking to be turned into a cat. A richly funny and fantastical novel about the strangeness at the heart of even the most everyday lives, from one of South Korea's most acclaimed novelists. Translated by Sean Lin Halbert

Die Plotter (ungekürzte Lesung)
Die stille Kunst des Tötens und ein Killer, der seine Würde entdeckt Raeseng ist Killer von Beruf, seit ihn Old Raccoon als Kind bei sich aufnahm und ausbildete. Aufgewachsen an einem geheimen Rückzugsort in Seoul, einer Bibliothek voller alter Bücher, gehört er zur Killer-Elite Koreas. Denn Old Raccoon ist ein Plotter. Als Kopf der Organisation 'Library of Dogs' hat er seit Jahrzehnten alle politisch gewollten Exekutionen in Korea geplant. Doch als die Macht der Diktatur schwindet, gerät auch der Einfluss der Plotter ins Wanken - und eine neue Generation beginnt, ihr eigenes tödliches Netzwerk aufzuziehen. Als Raeseng vom Plan der Plotter bei der Ausführung eines Auftrags abweicht, geraten die Dinge außer Kontrolle - und Raeseng rückt selbst an die erste Stelle der Todesliste ... Nach Han Kangs Sensationserfolg Die Vegetarierin macht mit Un-Su Kim ein weiterer koreanischer Bestsellerautor international Furore. In Korea gefeiert und mehrfach preisgekrönt, besticht Un-Su Kim in Die Plotter durch einzigartigen Stil und bemerkenswerte Beobachtungsgabe. Mit einfühlsam sarkastischem Humor lässt er in seinem außergewöhnlichen Krimi noir den Beruf des Killers zum Handwerk werden. Ein faszinierendes Leseerlebnis, das alles zugleich ist: traumhaft und realistisch, hart und aufwühlend. Wie schon Old Raccoon sagte: 'Wenn du Bücher liest, wird dein Leben erfüllt sein von Ängsten und Scham' - und alles andere als langweilig.

Audiobook
A thriller like you've never read one before, from the hottest new voice in Korean fiction 'Kill Bill meets Murakami' D. B. John, author of Star of the North 'A work of literary genius' Karen Dionne, internationally bestselling author of Home 'I loved it!' M. W. Craven, author of The Puppet Show 'You'll be laughing out loud every five minutes' You-jeong Jeong, author of The Good Son 'A mash-up of Tarantino and Camus set in contemporary Seoul' Louisa Luna, author of Two Girls Down 'An incredible cast of characters' Le monde 'Smart but lightning fast' Brian Evenson, author of Last Days Plotters are just pawns like us. A request comes in and they draw up the plans. There's someone above them who tells them what to do. And above that person is another plotter telling them what to do. You think that if you go up there with a knife and stab the person at the very top, that'll fix everything. But no-one's there. It's just an empty chair. Reseng was raised by cantankerous Old Raccoon in the Library of Dogs. To anyone asking, it's just an ordinary library. To anyone in the know, it's a hub for Seoul's organised crime, and a place where contract killings are plotted and planned. So it's no surprise that Reseng has grown up to become one of the best hitmen in Seoul. He takes orders from the plotters, carries out his grim duties, and comforts himself afterwards with copious quantities of beer and his two cats, Desk and Lampshade. But after he takes pity on a target and lets her die how she chooses, he finds his every move is being watched. Is he finally about to fall victim to his own game? And why does that new female librarian at the library act so strangely? Is he looking for his enemies in all the wrong places? Could he be at the centre of a plot bigger than anything he's ever known?
