PARIS IS A PARTY, PARIS IS A GHOST by David Hoon Kim
David Hoon Kim sat down for an interview with Ploughshares to discuss his debut novel, PARIS IS A PARTY, PARIS IS A GHOST. Ploughshares writes that "PARIS IS A PARTY, PARIS IS A GHOST is as much about Blatand and the characters around him as it is about the city itself, as much about the narrative momentum created through his wanderings as it is about the languages that carry and charge through him. Kim has created a novel that captures the experience of knowing another language, another culture, and yet still feeling at bay from it—of finding oneself mired in loss and grief, in belonging and not, attenuated to the struggle and attuned to ghosts who refuse to be done with us.” FSG published the novel on August 3, 2021.
