An ever-surprising and stylistically diverse anthology that will surely stand as the touchstone collection of Korean literature for decades to come * Literary Review *
An exciting new chapter of the K-culture revolution... What the collection does so well – via diverse tales of peddlers and sex workers, battlefield casualties and lonely wanderers searching for connection – is to dismantle this limited perspective with tales of hope, humour and perseverance, illustrating a profound depth to the story of Korea's transformation -- BBC Culture
