Summary: Fighting Tears
Review: Some say that we wretched Koreans--the poeple of Hahn (everlasting woe)--have run out of tears. But to my wonderment, I found myself fighting tears as I turned the pages of Dai Sil Kim-Gibson's Silence Broken. Destiny has willed this poet-philosopher-filmmaker to tell the stories of the ultimate Hahn for posterity.
