Description
The latest installment in the Akashic Urban Surreal series.
Boy Genius is a powerful identity satire, the picaresque odyssey of a child seeking to avenge the wrongs perpetrated on his parents. Park's genius, born into the turmoil of post-war Korea, is used as a puppet by the South Korean government - before being banished to America. From a remote New York city ghetto, the boy wages a clandestine guerilla war against all symbols of authority. Park renders his vision of late-20th-century global culture with the bold, surreal strokes of Pynchon and the wild political sensibilities of Godard; the painful, largely unmapped narrative territory of Boy Genius creates a gripping, harrowing listen.
Finalist for the Kiriyama Prize.
Set partly in the fictitious city of Bogota, NYC, this book is the first installment of Park's Elmhurst Trilogy, made up of Boy Genius, Las Cucarachas, and Rated R Boy....
Yongsoo Park is a Korean American writer and independent filmmaker living in New York City.
