Wafers | Seong-nan Ha

1 post | 2 read | 1 to read

When truth is more gruesome than fiction--Ha Seong-nan is there. When people give in to their most intrusive thoughts--Ha Seong-nan is there. When man is more animal than animals themselves--Ha Seong-nan is there. In Wafers, her third short-story collection to appear in English, Ha continues to weave troublesome coincidences into the seemingly banal in her signature style of engrossing and unsettling prose. A best-seller in Korea, Ha Seong-nan is one of the stars of contemporary short fiction, writing edgy, socially conscious stories that bring to mind the novels of Han Kang and the film Parasite.

Wafers | Seong-nan Ha

Loved this short story collection. Unsettling, many unanswered questions, repetition in theme & variations. Untrustworthy friendships, circus performers, funerals, spooky homecomings. Solid translation. Beautiful non sequiturs, imitating leaps of thought. 2006, trans 2024

85 “Having experienced war at the age of nine and been forced to flee to a new land, her mother had a habit of assessing a room by estimating how many people could sleep there.”
