Inspired me to do wider research into the various histories Cha alludes to; beautifully written.

Reading Dictee was an arresting experience and the parts where I got confused, overwhelmed, engrossed all felt phenomenologically similar to attempting to take in a scene in complete detail in a moment, sensory overload. And the parts of Korean history I learned or had forgotten were a poignant reminder of the resilience of its people.

Composed by a young Korean-American performance artist who was killed far too early, this text brings together many of the pieces of her early visual and aural life. The reader is asked to follow the author's path in stitching together the sections in different languages and from different parts of her life: the religious stories that the Church tells her as a Catholic convert, the dictation that she must learn as a student under the teacher's watchful eyes, the stories of her family's coming to the United States, the words of many different immigrants scratched into the walls at Ellis Island where they are held. The book is hard to read, because Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's process of coming to America is hard and beset with all sorts of road blocks that she recreates here.

Needlessly complicated, this work tries diligently to transcend genre and linear trains of thought, but as a result becomes overtly abstract and difficult to follow. More of a collage than a coherent piece of literature, Dictee has interesting moments and movements....but, for this reader at least, it rang hollow and repetitive, more of an experiment than a completed work worth exploring and returning to.
