Summary:
"When truth is more gruesome than fiction--Ha Seong-nan is there. When people give in to their most intrusive thoughts--Ha Seong-nan is there. When man is more animal than animals themselves--Ha Seong-nan is there. In Wafers, her third short-story collection to appear in English, Ha continues to weave troublesome coincidences into the seemingly banal in her signature style of engrossing and unsettling prose. A best-seller in Korea, Ha Seong-nan is one of the stars of contemporary short fiction, writing edgy, socially conscious stories that bring to mind the novels of Han Kang and the film Parasite."-- Provided by publisher.
