Autobiography of Death by Kim Hyesoon, translated by Don Mee Choi Marina Tsvetaeva daily observations and lifelong preoccupationsPublished 3rd June 2025. Autobiography of Death, Kims most compelling work to date, at once re enacts trauma and narrates death how we die and how we survive within the structure of death, that we remain living in.
