The good son by you jeong jeong7/4/2023 It’s a book of mystery, too, but a good portion of it consists of Yu-jin talking to himself, trying to figure out what’s going on. Those encounters are each fraught with tension, and the tension comes from Jeong’s prose, which spares not a single word. When he goes downstairs, he finds his mother dead, and soon he convinces himself that the two of them had fought earlier, her in a rage, him defending himself. He has vague memories of the night before. The novel begins with its protagonist, Yu-jin, waking up in his room covered in blood. You-Jeong Jeong’s The Good Son is a precise, meticulously plotted thriller that is occasionally too precise and meticulous for its own good.
