The latest addition<\/a> to our Reviews<\/a> section is by Pierce Alquist on Nowhere to Be Found<\/em> by Bae Suah, published in 2014 by AmazonCrossing.<\/p>\n

Just a side note, that if you’ve been itching for more from Bae Suah since this one came out, there are THREE<\/span> more forthcoming titles of hers making their way into English: A Greater Music<\/em> (Open Letter, October 2016), Recitation<\/em> (Deep Vellum, 2016), and The Owls’ Absence<\/em> (Open Letter, ~2018), all three in translation by Deborah Smith. So get your reading hats on, because it’s about to get amazing out here.<\/p>\n

Here’s the beginning of Pierce’s review:<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s been almost a year since the publication of Nowhere to Be Found by Bae Suah, but despite being included on the 2015 PEN<\/span> Translation award longlist, and some pretty vocal support from key indie presses, the book has been widely overlooked. I\u2019ve found this to be largely because Nowhere to Be Found is published by AmazonCrossing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

If you\u2019ve overlooked Bae Suah out of some desire to punish Amazon, or because of a general indifference to the AmazonCrossing imprint, you\u2019re only doing yourself a disservice. With three upcoming books translated into English\u2014_A Greater Music_, The Owls\u2019 Absence, and _Recitation_\u2014Bae Suah will continue to establish herself as one of the hottest voices coming out of South Korea. list: Books from Korea named her as \u201cone of the most risk-taking, experimental writers active in Korea\u201d\u2014and with the fiction that is coming out of South Korea right now (see: Han Kang and others), that is high praise.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
