Skinship
Skinship: Stories | Yoon Choi
3 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
"A long-married couple is forced to confront their friend's painful past when a church revival comes to a nearby town... A woman in an arranged marriage struggles to connect with the son she hid from her husband for years... A well-meaning sister unwittingly reunites an abuser with his victims... Through the lives of an indelible array of individuals--musicians, housewives and pastors, children and grandparents, the men and women who own the dry cleaners and the mini-marts--Yoon Choi explores the Korean-American experience at its interstices: where first and second generations either clash or find common ground; where meaning falls in the cracks between languages; where relationships bend under the weight of tenderness and disappointment; where displacement turns to heartbreak."--

Really wonderful collection of stories about the Korean American immigrant experience. This book deserves more hype!

I have never ever read a book that mentioned where I grew up (Bayside, Queens). Though there is one reference to Bayside on a Seinfeld episode 😆

Here are the contents of my #bookhookup box from The Strand.

I just paid for the one box. Probably won't subscribe for a whole year.

Does anyone subscribe to this??

I'm happy, but not over the moon.

Still worth running out to the mail in my robe and sweatpants though 😂

Ruthiella Subscription boxes for me are better in theory than in practice. In the long run it‘s better if I just buy/check out specifically the books I‘m interested in. 3y
jdiehr @Ruthiella You've hit the nail on the head! 3y
