Ghost story, family saga, parable, feminist reimagined myth: Angela Mi Young Hurs hugely ambitious Folklorn is a spellbinding shapeshifter of a novel that tackles questions of race, culture, and history headon, exploring the blurry boundaries between past and present, fact and fantasy, and personal and culturalor cosmic. Celeste Ng, author of Little Fires EverywhereA New York Times Best SciFi and Fantasy Novel of 2021 An NPR Best Book of 2021 Indie Next Pick May 2021A genredefying, continentsspanning saga of Korean myth, scientific discovery, and the abiding love that binds even the most broken of families.Elsa Park is a particle physicist at the top of her game, stationed at a neutrino observatory in the Antarctic, confident shes put enough distance between her ambitions and the family ghosts shes run from all her life. But it isnt long before her childhood imaginary friendan achingly familiar, spectral woman in the snowcomes to claim her at last.Years ago, Elsas nowcatatonic mother warned her that women of their line were doomed to repeat the narrative lives of their ancestors from Korean myth and legend. But Elsa also faces a more earthly fate: the mental illness and generational trauma that run in her immigrant family.When her mother breaks her decadelong silence and tragedy strikes, Elsa must return to her childhood home in California. There, among family wrestling with their own demons, she unravels the secrets hidden in the handwritten pages of her mothers dark stories: of womens desire and fury; of magic suppressed, stolen, or punished; of the hunger for vengeance.Folklorn is a wondrous and necessary exploration of the myths we inherit and those we fashion for ourselves.
