The Artificial Silk Girl

The vivid descriptions made me feel immersed in the city’s vibrant yet uncertain atmosphere. I'm curious about the real-life inspirations behind this depiction.

Her struggles with social mobility and self-identity felt so raw; I wonder if Keun intended to evoke both sympathy and critique in her portrayal.

The pacing and shifts in perspective added depth but also kept me guessing. I’d love to hear whether others found it enhanced or complicated the story.
