Korea Moves
Chang-rae Lee has written two earlier novels that won important American prizes, and he teaches creative writing at Princeton University. But it is as if two authors with identical names wrote this book. One Chang-rae Lee tells an engrossing, even poignant story, only occasionally marring it with an unnecessary, fancy or incorrect word. The other Chang-rae Lee entangles the same story in a thicket of awful English.
