"From one of Korea's literary stars, a novel about two orphans from the streets of Seoul: one becomes the head of a powerful motorcycle gang, and the other follows him at all costs. In South Korea, underground motorcycle gangs attract society's castoffs. They form groups of hundreds and speed wildly through cities at night. For Jae and Dongyu, two orphans, their motorcycles are a way of survival. Jae is born in a bathroom stall at the Seoul Express Bus Terminal. And Dongyu is born mute -- unable to communicate with anyone except Jae. Both boys grow up on the streets of Seoul among runaway teenagers, con men, prostitutes, religious fanatics, and thieves.

Here is acclaimed author Young-ha Kim's most daring novel to date"--… (meer)

Jesus Christ meets Alexander Delarge as told through the Gospel of Judas. Motorcycle gangs tear through midnight Seoul and fight with cops for the right to monopolize violence. Kim remains a maestro of graceful darkness. ( )
