Here from her New York home—where she teaches at New York University—but back in a Seattle that she has called home, as a graduate of the University of Washington creative writing program (and winner of a Charles Johnson Fiction Prize) is debut novelist Sonya Chung. Long for This World (Scribner) is a powerful, poignant, intergenerational novel set in both a small Korean town and the U.S. (and other places on the globe). "When Han Hyun-ku appears on the doorstep of his younger brother's home in Korea nearly 40 years after he immigrated to America, the far-flung members of the Han family find their lives unexpectedly intersecting in this elegant debut novel ... Switching deftly between different characters' points of view, Chung portrays with precision and grace each character's struggle to find his or her place in the family and in the world." – Publishers Weekly.
