ONE OF NPR'S 2024 "BOOKS WE LOVE"From the author of Sea Change comes a short story collection that explores Korean American womanhood, bodies, animals, and transformation as a means of survival."The stories hit, each one, and land with such seeming perfection. Chung?s book sits next to my all-time favorite story collections by masters of the craft: Karen Russell, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, George Saunders, and Ted Chiang."?Morgan Talty, award-winning author of Night of the Living RezEqual parts fantastical?a pair of talking dolls help twins escape a stifling home, a heart boils on the stove as part of an elaborate cure for melancholy, a fox demon contemplates avenging her sister's death?and true to life?a mother and daughter try to heal their rift when the daughter falls unexpectedly pregnant, a woman reexamines her father's legacy after his death?the stories in this collection are hopeful and heartbreaking, full of danger and full of joy. Chung is a master at capturing emotion, and her characters?human and otherwise?will claw their way into your heart and make themselves at home.
