Ryan Lee Wong's Which Side Are You On is primarily a short, satisfying novel of Korean American experience in South California, but it also connects to Black American experience, the L.A. riots, Chinese, Black, and Korean activism, mother-son relationships, and more. I searched online while reading this past week and learned via Facebook post that his father passed on earlier this year; the dad in the book bears a strong resemblance to the father of the obituary.
Alex Kudera’s award-winning novel, Fight for Your Long Day (Atticus Books), was drafted in a walk-in closet during a summer in Seoul, South Korea. Auggie’s Revenge (Beating Windward Press) is his second novel. His numerous short stories include “Frade Killed Ellen” (Dutch Kills Press), “Bombing from Above” (Heavy Feather Review), and “A Thanksgiving” (Eclectica Magazine).
