From the WASHINGTON
POST:
"I
am deeply moved and instructed by Suji Kwock Kim's brilliant
debut collection, which moves fluently between the living and
the dead, the Korean past and the Asian American present. NOTES
FROM THE DIVIDED COUNTRY is a heartfelt, blook-soaked work of
flights and explorations, of personal probings and historical
exposures, of suffering and responsibility, of tribute and witness,
of Amercian soul-making."
