Susan Choi (A Person of Interest, American Woman) authored the introduction for the new release and speaks to the importance of Kim’s work and its relevance to better understanding between the peoples of Korea and the United States. On its initial release, The New York Times Book Review wrote that Kim’s book stands out “as one written in the great moral and psychological tradition of Job, Dostoevsky, and Albert Camus.”
