    About this ebook

    A group of dramatists commit a subversive act during the South Korean military dictatorship—distributing copies of Karl Marx’s only surviving play, The Specters of Algeria. The resulting crackdown by the authorities sets the direction of the lives of two children of the group’s members, Yul and Jing. But now, Cheolsu, a dissatisfied employee at a community theatre, is unearthing the truth about The Specters of Algeria and the questions that remain unanswered about what really happened so long ago.
