SUMMARY:Jung Yun: Shelter
DESCRIPTION:Kyung Cho is a young father burdened by a house he can’t afford. His debts have always seemed manageable\, but lately they’ve spiraled out of control\, and he is worried for his family’s future. A few miles away\, his parents\, Jin and Mae\, live in the town’s most exclusive neighborhood\, surrounded by the material comforts that Kyung desires for his wife and son. Growing up\, they gave him every possible advantage\, but never kindness nor affection. Now\, Kyung can hardly bear to see his parents\, much less ask them for help. Yet when an act of violence leaves Jin and Mae unable to live on their own\, the dynamic suddenly changes\, and he feels compelled to take them in. Once more under the same roof\, Kyung is forced to question what it means to be a good husband\, father\, and son\, while the life he knew begins to crumble and his own anger demands to be released. \nAs Shelter veers swiftly toward its startling conclusion\, Jung Yun leads us through dark and violent territory\, where\, unexpectedly\, the Chos discover hope. This book is a masterfully crafted debut novel that asks what it means to provide for one’s family and\, in answer\, delivers a story as riveting as it is profound. \nJung Yun was born in South Korea\, grew up in North Dakota\, and educated at Vassar College\, the University of Pennsylvania\, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Her work has appeared in Tin House (the “Emerging Voices” issue); The Best of Tin House: Stories\, edited by Dorothy Allison; and she is a recipient of an honorable mention for the Pushcart Prize.
