really liked it
bookshelves: pulitzer-hopefuls-2022, korean-american, short-stories, american-21st-c

This collection of short stories about Korean immigrants is quite moving and provides real insight into their particular culture and challenges. I think I preferred the eponymous story the best, but all of them had a special ambiance and were page turners.

This is the list of stories:
The Church of Abundant Life
First Language
A Map of the Simplified World
Solo Works for Piano
Skinship
The Art of Losing
The Loved Ones
Song and Song

One quote I liked: "foods that were overly sweetened tasted of deceit."
