Penguin Random House: Yoon Choi to Virtually Discuss SKINSHIP With Fellow Knopf Author Esi Edugyan

Yoon Choi, author of SKINSHIP: Stories (Knopf), will discuss her debut short story collection in conversation with fellow Knopf author Esi Edugyan at a virtual event hosted by Charis Books (Atlanta, GA) via Crowdcast on Tuesday, August 24 at 7:30 pm (ET). To register, click here.

SKINSHIP is centered on a constellation of Korean American families. Through an indelible array of lives, Yoon Choi explores where first and second generations either clash or find common ground, where meaning falls in the cracks between languages, where relationships bend under the weight of tenderness and disappointment, where displacement turns to heartbreak. This collection is suffused with a profound understanding of humanity.

“To encounter these achingly truthful, beautiful stories of newcomer Americans is like gazing up at the starry vault of a perfect night sky; it’s immediately dazzling and impressive, and yet the closer and deeper you look, the more you appreciate the sheer countless brilliance.” —Chang-rae Lee, author of My Year Abroad
