Good Family

ISBN
9781628971187
This collection of eight stories--cynical and sympathetic by turns--represents the author's attempt to document and understand the conflicts, resentments, hatreds, and anxieties of contemporary family life. The title story depicts a mother's busy day playing numerous roles--ashamed, fearless, or humble--depending on which member of her family she's tending to. In "The Privacy of My Father," a daughter tracks her father to Hong Kong in order to spy on what she thinks is an illicit affair. All in all, says Seo Hajin, family means deception--but these masks aren't so easily removed.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Seo HajinPublisher: Dalkey Archive PressPublished: 12/18/2015ISBN: 9781628971187Pages: 350Weight: 0.60lbsSize: 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.60dReview Citations: Kirkus Reviews 10/01/2015
