Sonya Chung
author of
Long for This World
Thursday, March 4 ² 6:30 p.m.

In 1953, on a small island in Korea, a teenage boy stows himself away on the ferry that is carrying his older brother and his brother’s wife to the mainland. Fifty-two years later, Han Hyun-kyu is on a plane flying back to Korea and walking away from his wife in America. It is his daughter Jane–a war photographer recently injured in a bombing in Baghdad–who goes to find him in a small town in South Korea. Long for This World is a novel of cultural crossings and loss that establishes Chung as an exciting new voice in fiction.
