For today’s book club, we are joined by our literary critic, Barry Welsh @barrywelsh for our weekly book segment.

Today, we talk about a recently published debut novel from a celebrated historian and short story writer. The novel is called The Melancholy of Untold History, and the writer is Minsoo Kang. #TheMelancholyofUntoldHistory #강민수작가

The Melancholy of Untold History is a vibrant and ambitious epic that spans 3,000 years in the history of The Realm of the Grand Circle, a place where dynasties echo the traditions of East Asia.

In The Melancholy of Untold History, Kang weaves together the themes of love, grief, and the passage of time to create a deeply emotional narrative. The novel explores how personal and collective histories are shaped by these powerful forces.

Even if you’re new to the cultural references, the novel’s rich characters and compelling plotlines make it easy to connect with, offering a fascinating introduction to East Asian mythology within a beautifully crafted, modern narrative.
