Praise for Ed Park Pulitzer Prize Finalist Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize PEN/Hemingway Award Finalist Time Best Book of the Year NPR Best Book of the Year Boston Globe Best Book of the Year “The James Joyce of Korean American literature, and of our times.” —Ilyon Woo, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Master Slave Husband Wife “One of the things that I find consistently astonishing about his work is the way that he’s always exploding lines, exploding genre distinctions, creating a really interesting weave . . . Really smart, really playful.” —Press Play, KCRW “Ed Park writes books that are easy to love and hard to define. His writing is hilarious but also serious; chaotic while still cohesive; irreverent and earnest all at once.” —Shelf Awareness (2025 Best Books of the Year) “Always witty, sometimes surreal, frequently diving beneath mundane surfaces to mysterious and mesmerizing depths.” —Chicago Review of Books “I could not stop reading, thinking, and dreaming about Same Bed Different Dreams . . . A feverish, mind-altering marvel of a book.” —Hua Hsu, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Stay True “To speak of Park’s creativity is also to speak of his humanity—empathy is a function of the imagination, of course, and it makes sense that a mind capable of dreaming these worlds and sisterverses would also be able to endow them with spirits as vivid and complex as our own. It’s dazzling, this steady carousel of delight and stunned awe.” —Kaveh Akbar, New York Times–bestselling author of Martyr! “I’ll throw my gauntlet down and say that Ed Park is the funniest prose writer in America.” —LitHub
