Kim'swork has been compared to the novels of Haruki Murakami, Raymond Chandler, and Albert Camus, to name a few, and hehas earned a reputation as the most talented and prolific Korean writer of his generation.<BR /><BR /> In the titular novella, a former serial killer suffering from memory loss sets his sights on a new, and final, target: a killer targeting young women, his daughter included. Complicating matters is an old detective seeking to close the cold cases from the now-retired murderer. But whom, if anyone, are we to trust?In the following three stories we witness a family's disintegration after a baby son is kidnapped and recovered years later; a comic, erotic ride about pursuing creativity at all costs; and an affair between two childhood friends that questions the limits of loyalty and love.<BR /><BR />Diary of a Murderer: And Other Stories, translated by award-winning author Krys Lee, is chilling and high-powered all the way through; it cracks open what it means to live on the margins, in that liminal space between life and death.<BR />"-- "From "one of South Korea's best and most worldly writers" (NPR): An electric collection that captivates and provokes in equal measure, exploring what it means to be on the edge--between life and death, good and evil"-- |
