A poetic translation of the bestselling Korean picture book.   Accompanied by the constant, rumbling ba-dum ba-dum of its passage through the city, the subway has stories to tell. Between sunrise and sunset, it welcomes and farewells people, and holds them — along with their joys, hopes, fears, and memories — in its embrace.   Originally published in Korean and brought to English-speaking audiences with the help of renowned translator Deborah Smith (The Vegetarian), I Am the Subway vividly reflects the shared humanity that can be found in crowded metropolitan cities.   ★ ‘[S]ensitive, closely observed portraits.’ —Publishers Weekly   ★ ‘A contemplative, poignant rendering of everyday journeys.’ —Kirkus Reviews   ★ ‘[B]eautiful and unusual.’ —Youth Services Book Review   ★ ‘Bewitching.’ —Foreword Reviews   ★ ‘A poetic tribute to Seoul and its people, I Am the Subway makes for an unforgettable journey.’ —BookPage","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53673460498705,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781913348588.jpg?v=1781525852","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-i-am-the-subway-by-kim-hyo-eun","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
