""A riveting account of an iconic poet against the backdrop of the heyday of Japan's militaristic totalitarianism. Song's accomplishment here is breathtaking, drawing a sensitive portrait of a young Korean intellectual with extraordinary knowledge of the subjects--his writings, ideas, friends, and family. In this long-awaited translation, we learn how to read Yun Dong-ju and, by extension, his times in this gripping, insightful biography.""--Sean Han ""associate professor of history, University of Alabama""
