Guilt Payment

This 13-story collection is centered around the Korean War and the post-war life of immigrants in America. Often graphic with meticulous attention do detail, the stories are adventure tales as well as ironic commentary. This first collection of stories by a Korean-American reveals “…the unflinching confrontation with the voids and wounds, both psychic and physical, that both drive and inhibit a generation of Koreans born to division, war and a homeland that is not whole.” —Koreatown
