Paul Yoon's 'Snow Hunters': a meditation on solitude and memory

The interior is at stake as Paul Yoon explores the experiences of a North Korean defector who ends up in Brazil. It's a lovely novel, subtly rendered.


Paul Yoon's "Snow Hunters" is a novel in which little happens — not, in many ways, unlike life. This is not meant as criticism: Some of the fiction that moves me most is that with the least overt action, in which the interior rather than the exterior is at stake.
