Reviews

PRAISE FROM KOREA FOR I HAVE THE RIGHT TO DESTROY MYSELF "[Kim's] novels are fragments of his amazing imagination. With uncommon creativity, grotesque images, and stories that build on and into each other like a computer game, he perplexes his readers as much as he delights them."--LEADERS KOREA literary magazine
