In just over 200 pages, E.J. Koh spans decades to tell the individual stories of lives impacted by the Korean War.her debut novel, Koh delves into the pain and history of families forced to immigrate from Korea after the war split the nation in two.
For Koh, zooming in on the characters' individual stories was a means to accurately portray the endless impact of the conflict. "We get to really see how every individual makes a choice — makes a different choice, maybe about how to, or whether they should, erase the troubling origins of the war, or reconcile with the urge to do so in the face of inherited grief and violence and pain. And so we come to a really human level of understanding these choices.
And so that means that when we tell stories and we carry memories, we want to tell the stories of both the perpetrators and the collaborators, the prisoners and the guards, the murdered and the survivors. You want to be responsible for the entire braid because that's what our humanity looks like. That's what we're reckoning with.
