Join us for the London launch of Capitalists Must Starve, a radical feminist novel by Park Seolyeon, translated by Anton Hur.

Set in 1930s Pyongyang, Capitalists Must Starve follows a young factory worker who leads a historic strike, bringing to life the fierce spirit of women and workers who resisted empire and capitalism. At once political and poetic, Park’s novel is a groundbreaking portrait of collective struggle and survival.

This special event marks the first time Park Seolyeon and Anton Hur appear together on a UK stage. They’ll discuss the novel’s origins, the art and politics of translation, and the connections between Korean resistance movements and the UK’s own working-class histories.
