This beautiful, nuanced, perceptive collection of stories is a considerable achievement. Somehow he writes with both grace \u003ci\u003eand \u003c\/i\u003emuscularity, and every page resounds with the sort of truthfulness that stirs deep recognitions in the reader. This is important, committed work from a writer who knows what he's about, but Park is also such a pleasure to read.
