4.0 out of 5 starsRead beyond and look behind
By Darby on February 21, 2011
Format: Hardcover
Had I read the review before this one I am writing, I never would have opened this book. However, I'll be reading it as a volunteer for a group that records for the blind and dyslexic (RFBD) and I forged through the first of 3 stories. Dark, very dark and disturbing - a tumult of inner pain and loss, yes. Not easy to read, yes. But brilliant writing rooted deep in history and a portend of what yet may happen as we march forward with might and military force into the lives of innocents. Would I recommend it for children? Nope. But, for the adult reader who wants to experience amazing writing and the boldest of imagry, this is a literary gem. I only hope I can do it justice in my recording. I felt compelled to add this since the previous 'reviewer' deigned to write after reading a "few pages" and panned the entire work.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Primary Text; Not General Reading
By baijieling on April 13, 2013
Format: Hardcover
I'm using the three stories contained in Ch'oe's book as primary text for a literary project about the changing consciousness of South Koreans in a post-colonial society. Would I recommend these stories for a quick, relaxing reading? No. How about for individuals simply interested in gaining a glimpse of Korean culture, society, or general history? No. While Ch'oe's writing style and choice of topics are not for the general reader, I highly recommend these stories for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of an author's ability to utilize diverse literary techniques and language choice in order to create imagery relative to the overall topic. If you are interested in gaining a stronger grasp of Ch'oe's writing styles and context of the stories, I recommend searching for interviews about the text (include in search the translator(s) Fulton and/or Columbia University Press).

1.0 out of 5 starscultural difference???
By mother of 3 on February 8, 2009
Format: Hardcover
I only can say that I could not read this book beyond a couple of pages - sorry - must be my expectations or cultural differences.

This book brings me back a a Korean movie I rented on a chance at Blockbuster with personages making dishes of the flesh of their friends - the most bizzare thing I paid for to watch - there were women neighbors who somehow got together and one was a victim of the other. I am sorry but it was an awful peace of crap - being asian myself - loving foreign/indy movies - still was a ....... so is this book. Hope some people like it!There a Petal Silently Falls: Three Stories by Ch'oe Yun (Weatherhead Books on Asia)
