Flowers Of Mold & Other Stories

On the surface, Ha Seong-Nan`s stories seem pleasant enough, yet there`s always something disturbing just below the surface, ready to permanently disrupt the characters` lives. A woman meets her next-door neighbour and loans her a spatula, then starts suffering horrific gaps in her memory. A security guard falls in love with a magician/petty thief, and suffers a life-altering accident. A man, feeling jilted by an unrequited love, becomes obsessed with sorting through his neighbours` garbage in the belief that it will teach him how to better relate to people. These are some of the captivating, strange stories in Ha`s collection – the latest in the trend of brilliant female Korean authors to appear in English.
