""[A] brilliant mosaic novel...These stories straddle the lines between science fiction, fantasy, fairy tale, and acute reality."" ""Un-su Kim is a tremendous writer"" ""Showcases his sly, surreal, dark humor about all the ways humans are, well, not particularly human."" ""This charming and fantastical book is sure to introduce Kim to a whole new legion of weird fiction fans, ideal for readers of Han Kang’s The Vegetarian and the works of Haruki Murakami."" ""Kim deftly juggles both macro-level and micro-level ideas about social roles, purpose, and personal narrative."" ""What begins as a rather whimsical set of stories turns into a much darker novel, raising issues of difference and acceptance, what people must do to survive, and what is truly monstrous."" ""Surprising and enchanting"" ""comic, heartbreaking and terrifying.""
