      About This Book

      Jinho Kim is a dog butcher. In the slaughterhouse, a one-eyed dog befriends him and he finds that they share a special bond. When Jinho is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he and his dog set off on a journey into the countryside where past and present merge and a lost childhood comes back to life. The Dog Butcher is a novel about nostalgia, regret, friendship and the Korean heart. It is a powerful, touching and heartbreaking work that will surely go down as one of the best Korean novels available in the English language.
