No One Writes Back by Jang Eun-Jin

Communication--or the lack thereof--is the subject of this sly update of the picaresque.
"No One Writes Back has the trappings of the avant garde – the carefully affectless style, the way it is told in numbered paragraphs – but in terms of the emotional impact it delivers, it is, in its way, as sentimental as The Old Curiosity ShopAll I can say, in a rather dazed fashion, is read it – you'll love it." —The Guardian  "No One Writes Back is a beautiful gem of a work which works its slow magic on you..." —London Korean Links
Jang Eun-Jin was born in Gwangju, Korea, in 1976, and graduated from the Department of Geography at Cheonnam National University.
