Dear Mariah,
Thank you for waiting for my next work! It's funny you should ask that just now, because last night I wrote up to 91k words of my next novel that I originally planned on being just 72k words. It seems that I don't know how to write a short one! This one may come around 100k words (Beasts was even longer). I have said in interviews that Beasts was inspired by a symphony. This one was inspired by a concerto, and I'm at a point where I'm seeing that really take shape, which is exciting for me. It's a book about relationships—between friends, lovers, family, and most of all between art and artist. I am really grateful to have readers who are waiting—it gives me motivation. (less)

If you see a person walking around Portland smelling all the flowers, that's me! If it's nighttime, a glass of cocktail is like the elixir of new ideas. (less)

“Life is only bearable because time makes you forget everything. But life is worthwhile because love makes you remember everything.”
Juhea Kim, Beasts of a Little Land

“Everywhere around them, life was happening without their knowing, and their lives were also happening in the presence of all else. All existences were touching lightly as air and leaving invisible fingerprints.”
Juhea Kim, Beasts of a Little Land

“There are just two things in the world that give you true confidence. One is overcoming difficulties on your own, and the other is being deeply loved. If you experience both, then you will be confident for the rest of your life.”
Juhea Kim, Beasts of a Little Land

“Everywhere around them, life was happening without their knowing, and their lives were also happening in the presence of all else. All existences were touching lightly as air and leaving invisible fingerprints.”
Juhea Kim, Beasts of a Little Land

“Everyone dreams, but only some people are dreamers. The non-dreamers, by far more numerous, are those who see the world as it is. Then there are the few dreamers, who see the world as they are. The moon, the river, the train station, the sound of rain, and even something as mundane as porridge become something else with many layers. The world feels like an oil painting rather than a photograph, and the dreamers are forever seeing hidden colors where others just see the top shade. The nondreamers look through glasses, and the dreamers through a prism”
Juhea Kim, Beasts of a Little Land
