Description: So persuasive are Yoon's powers of invention that readers go searching for his Solla Island somewhere off the mainland of South Korea--not realizing that it exists only in this breathtaking collection of eight interlinked stories ... Yoon's writing results in a fully formed, deftly executed debut. The lost lives, while heartbreaking, prove illuminating in Yoon's made-up world, so convincing and real.
