R.O. Kwon 권오경

In Greene’s novel, sexual and romantic passion are at least as urgent, as powerful, as the seductions of religious faith, and each time I reread The End of the Affair I hope against all reason that things will turn out differently than they did the last time around.

Exhilarating... It’s thrilling to see her turn major poetic gifts toward the sweep of this Künstlerroman, the story of a young woman becoming other than she used to be... With her novel, Aber has made the world more spacious: More people will find a place to fit.

An unabashed ode to living with, and despite, pain and mortality. I love this book’s understanding of how tightly grief can tangle itself with elation, and how loss might elicit possession. It is also riotously, delightfully queer... hallelujah

[Katherine Min] left behind an unfinished novel that her daughter, Kayla Min Andrews, has completed. The resulting collaboration, The Fetishist, about an ill-conceived kidnapping, is astonishing. I’m thankful this book exists.
