"...a man for whom the autodidactic imperative served in place of all the other imperatives: the workshipping of God, the raising of a family, the pursuit of a wage. ... The rest of his life he intended to spend reading books." 209 #Flashlight #SusanChoi #KoreanWarVeteran ๐

Trust exercise A novel National book award winner Susan Choi Author of American Woman
An artistic retelling of hs students at a school for the artistically gifted. Though it contains some interesting turns, I overall found it a bit too gratuitous for my liking 4.5/10 ๐๐

With the winner announced Monday 10 Nov, I gather thoughts on Flashlight by #SusanChoi
An eye-opening, consciousness raising novel of cross cultural marriage, complex identity, ambiguous nationality and those who take advantage of one to educate the other.

Not surprised to find a bibliography at the end. Loved it!

This wkd I'm finishing Flashlight by #SusanChoi
I'm enjoying the way the characters were initially in proximity and now live apart, rarely interacting, yet remain intertwined.
The cross cultural family dynamic and the complexity of each character's past contributing to their separation.
