A foreign film importer, Gi-yeong is a family man with a wife
and daughter. An aficionado of Heineken, soccer, and sushi, he is
also a North Korean spy who has been living among his enemies for
twenty-one years.
Suddenly he receives a mysterious email, a directive seemingly
from the home office. He has one day to return to headquarters. He
hasn’t heard from anyone in over ten years. Why is he being called
back now? Is this message really from Pyongyang? Is he returning to
receive new orders or to be executed for a lack of diligence? Has
someone in the South discovered his secret identity? Is this a
trap?
Spanning the course of one day, Your Republic Is Calling You is
an emotionally taut, psychologically astute, haunting novel that
reveals the depth of one particularly gripping family secret and
the way in which we sometimes never really know the people we love.
Confronting moral questions on small and large scales, it mines the
political and cultural transformations that have transformed South
Korea since the 1980s. A lament for the fate of a certain kind of
man and a certain kind of manhood, it is ultimately a searing study
of the long and insidious effects of dividing a nation in two.
