The End of August, Belletristik von Morgan Giles, Yu Miri

In 1930s Japanese-occupied Korea, Lee Woo-cheol was a running prodigy and a contender for the upcoming Olympics. But he would have had to run under the Japanese flag. Nearly a century later, his granddaughter, training to run a marathon, summons Korean shamans to connect with Lee Woo-cheol's spirit. A poetic masterpiece of historical fiction.
