'A DISTINCTLY KOREAN TAKE ON GREAT EXPECTATIONS.' Financial TimesA woman sells her daughter to a passing beekeeper for two jars of honey. A baby weighing fifteen pounds is born in the depths of winter but named “Girl of Spring”. A storm brings down the roof of a ramshackle restaurant to reveal a hidden fortune. These are just some of the events that set Myeong-Kwan's beautifully crafted, wild world in motion.

Set in a remote village in South Korea, Whale follows the lives of its linked characters: Geumbok, who has been chasing an indescribable thrill ever since she first saw a whale crest in the ocean; her mute daughter, Chunhui, who communicates with elephants; and a one-eyed woman who controls honeybees with a whistle.

Brimming with surprises and wicked humour, Whale is an adventure-satire of epic proportions, by one of international literature’s the most original voices.

Dress shirt
Size: XX-Large Big Tall, Color: Powder Blue
The material is a nice quality and the color is very close to the picture but I think it’s a bit darker in person. It definitely doesn’t fit like a “tall” should though but I think if we would have sized up it would have been to big. Overall it was an ok purchase for what we needed it for but it is a bit short.

Fit check = great
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
Happy to finally find a great shirt fit for both business and casual looks. This shirt line is made in Sri Lanka (not Bangladesh). It has a great fit around the shoulders and chest for a 40 year old American male. It fits true to form and was recommended to me directly by Grok AI based on my exact waist, chest and neck measurements. It doesn't pull tight across the chest, and fits really nice with a sport coat. It's comfortable and breathable, the fabric is thick and high quality. You can wear this tucked or untucked depending on the attire you need. I bought 2 and will definitely buy the rest of the color line up. I'd love to see more colors and patterns available in this fit.

Highly Recommended Dress Shirt
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: White, Size: Medium
Honestly, I Love It. Fits Great, Neck Isn't Too Tight Like Most Shirts, And It's Comfortable. It Is 100% Cotton, So Dont Forget To Iron It Before Wearing It. High Quality Dress Shirt. Highly Recommended.

Surprisingly good shirt for the price
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: White, Size: XX-Large
I’m generally pleased with my purchase. I got a 2XL because the website it would fit my neck. Around the waist it fit similar to Amazon Essentials work shirts (like mechanics use which I find comfortable). It was snug around the waist when sitting, but I can’t complain because I have a belly. I did find the neck snug when buttoning the top button so it means the neck is 18 or 18.5 and I wear a 19/19.5 to have 1-2 fingers space in the collar. The shirt is surprisingly thick like Amazon’s work shirts, much thicker than other dress shirts from another brand. And I am pleased that this shirt has button holes like other Amazon shirts does, all vertical button holes except the last one at the bottom which is horizontal. That feature keeps the shirt from unbuttoning itself during daily movement at the office. A very nice feature! I was a little disappointed in how it was packaged however but I have to press and wash it anyway.

Nice quality shirt cut a little small. The shirt kind of needs to be pressed before wearing however at this price point and quality its a buy!
