SUMMARY:R.O. Kwon Book Release
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, July 31st to celebrate the release of R.O. Kwon’s debut novel\, The Incendiaries. R.O. will be in conversation with Esmé Weijun Wang. \n\nPraise for The Incendiaries \n\n\n“The Incendiaries is a God-haunted\, willful\, strange book written with a kind of savage elegance. I’ve said it before\, but now I’ll shout it from the rooftops: R. O. Kwon is the real deal.”—Lauren Groff\, author of Fates and Furies \n\n“Every explosive requires a fuse. That’s R. O. Kwon’s novel\, a straight\, slow-burning fuse. To read her novel is to follow an inexorable flame coming closer and closer to the object it will detonate—the characters\, the crime\, the story\, and\, ultimately\, the reader.”—Viet Thanh Nguyen\, author of The Sympathizer and The Refugees \n\n“The Incendiaries probes the seductive and dangerous places to which we drift when loss unmoors us. In dazzlingly acrobatic prose\, R. O. Kwon explores the lines between faith and fanaticism\, passion and violence\, the rational and the unknowable.”—Celeste Ng\, author of Little Fires Everywhere and Everything I Never Told You \n\nAbout The Incendiaries \n\nA powerful\, darkly glittering novel about violence\, love\, faith\, and loss\, as a young Korean American woman at an elite American university is drawn into acts of domestic terrorism by a cult tied to North Korea. \n  \nPhoebe Lin and Will Kendall meet their first month at prestigious Edwards University. Phoebe is a glamorous girl who doesn’t tell anyone she blames herself for her mother’s recent death. Will is a misfit scholarship boy who transfers to Edwards from Bible college\, waiting tables to get by. What he knows for sure is that he loves Phoebe. \n  \nGrieving and guilt-ridden\, Phoebe is increasingly drawn into a religious group–a secretive extremist cult–founded by a charismatic former student\, John Leal. He has an enigmatic past that involves North Korea and Phoebe’s Korean American family. Meanwhile\, Will struggles to confront the fundamentalism he’s tried to escape\, and the obsession consuming the one he loves. When the group bombs several buildings in the name of faith\, killing five people\, Phoebe disappears. Will devotes himself to finding her\, tilting into obsession himself\, seeking answers to what happened to Phoebe and if she could have been responsible for this violent act. \n  \nThe Incendiaries is a fractured love story and a brilliant examination of the minds of extremist terrorists\, and of what can happen to people who lose what they love most.
