The New Yorker featured Eugene Lim’s novel SEARCH HISTORY in the Briefly Noted section of the magazine’s December 20, 2021 issue. The review praises Lim’s “humorous philosophical novel” for its “subversions of...conventional structure,” adding: “As the book toggles between the narrator’s autobiography, a meandering quest for the friend, and conversations among the search party about grief, selfhood, and Asian American authorship, Lim evokes the disorienting idiosyncrasy of an Internet search history.” Coffee House Press published SEARCH HISTORY on October 5, 2021.
