SEARCH HISTORY by Eugene Lim
Eugene Lim’s SEARCH HISTORY is the winner of the Association of Asian American Studies Outstanding Achievement in Creative Writing (Prose) Award for 2023. The AAAS Committee writes: “Mimicking the paths and rabbit holes of internet searches, SEARCH HISTORY is a powerful commentary on the anxieties and alienations of diasporic identities, specifically Korean American identities—compellingly intertwining questions of art and identity with posthuman anxieties about performativity and replicability in a world beginning to grapple with the capabilities of AI. SEARCH HISTORY is a brilliantly constructed, smartly delightful, and emotionally rich short novel that positions Eugene Lim as one of our brightest experimental Asian American writers working today.” Coffee House Press published SEARCH HISTORY on October 5, 2021.
