A short story collection in which the stories range widely in time and place but are gently linked. Displacement and diaspora. Whispers of places, textured (New York City, Russia, Japan, Korea). Belonging. Violence. Ann Patchett likens these stories to Fabergé eggs. Favorite story: “At the Post Station,” which takes place in 1608 on Japan’s eastern sea route and deftly teases out the relationship between two Japanese warriors and an orphaned Korean boy. https://www.paulyoon.com/
