**We Do Not Part** by Han Kang
co-translated with e. yaewon
(Hamish Hamilton UK & Hogarth US, 2025)
Blurring the boundaries between dream and reality, We Do Not Part brings to light the lost voices of the past to save them from oblivion. Both a hymn to an enduring friendship and an argument for remembering, it is the story of profound love in the face of unspeakable pain—and a celebration of life, however fragile it might be.
— National Book Award Foundation, citation for the 2025 Translated Literature longlist
A visionary novel about history, trauma, art and its tremendous costs. Han Kang is one of the most powerfully gifted writers in the world. With each work, she transforms her readers, and rewrites the possibilities of the novel as a form.
— Katie Kitamura, author of Intimacies
A disquietingly beautiful novel about the impossibility of waking up from the nightmare of history . . . . Han Kang's prose, as delicate as footprints in the snow or a palimpsest of shadows, conjures up the specters haunting a nation, a family, a friendship. . . . Unforgettable.
— Hernan Diaz, author of Trust
