Swell by Bo-mi Son
Requirements: .ePUB readers, 1.7 MB
Overview: The stories in Swell are told by often-unreliable documentarians, novelists, storytellers, gossips.
And as the stories build and intertwine, they begin to shift and destabilize. As relationships tatter and bereaved loved-ones search for ways to move on, a stranger narrative emerges, one in which characters multiply and timelines diverge.
An entirely fictional article about the life and impact of a scientist named Gordon Gould (but not the real-life Gordon Gould who invented the laser) is translated and annotated by someone named Son Bo-mi. A father who takes his son to a concert for his favorite band loses him in a tragedy, only to have the son return in another story where it was the father who died at the concert.
Brought into English masterfully by award-winning translator Janet Hong, Swell is a book full of trap doors, hidden passageways, and the unsolvable mysteries behind everyday life.
