On the table today, we have Krys Lee‘s story “Drifting House”, which you can read on the Granta website here.
It’s the title story of Lee’s debut collection, which has been reviewed in various places, including: The Daily Beast (by Anna Clark); Sul Romanzo (by Monica Raffaele Addamo) The Short Review (by Elaine Chew); Korea Joongang Daily (by Bart Schaneman); Pop Culture Nerd (by Thuy Dinh); The Guardian (by Kamila Shamsie); The Telegraph (by Andrew Marszal); The Financial Times (by Sung J. Woo); NPR Books (by Heller McAlpin); The San Francisco Chronicle (by Marie Myung-Ok Lee); Editorial Eyes; Of Books and Reading; The Brunette Bibliophile.
And here are a couple of interviews with the author, at The Rumpus and The Economist.
Conversation Starters
A couple of questions you might like to consider:
What do you think of Lee’s use of landscape in the story? Is this more than just a physical journey for the brothers?
How well does the structure of “Drifting House” work for you?
Next time: on 14 October, we’ll be discussing “Isobel Avens Returns to Stepney in the Spring” by M. John Harrison. See the full schedule.
