Yun Ha Kim is a seventh-year Ph.D. student in the Germanic Studies department at the University of Chicago. Her dissertation, “The Vulnerable Narrators of Adalbert Stifter, Rainer Maria Rilke, and W.G. Sebald,” focuses on the poetic compromise that modernism makes for the price of its “modernity.” She enjoys reading 20th century writers, especially in the Germanic and East Asian tradition, and frequently works at the crossings of literature, visual arts, and history.
