In diverse narratives grouped under the titles of Tales from a Lost History, Fables of the Dream World, and Stories from an Imaginary Homeland, Kang explores the nature and possibilities of storytelling itself as he spins out variations on an episodic theme, reinterprets an old myth, and struggles with a past that seeks a voice in the present. The result is a marvelously surrealistic landscape where histories, ideas, and legends freely intermingle and dance to the music of wonder and longing.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 12mmItem Weight: 285gAuthor: Minsoo KangGenre: FictionTopic: FantasyType: Anthologies & Short StoriesRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
