Did Eurydice want to return from the underworld? Did anybody ask?

Weaving together Greek mythology, neuroscience, and memories inherited from her Korean grandparents, the narrator grapples with death by telling stories to her younger brother that ask what life means for him, for her, and for their family.

Recasting the myths of Eurydice, Orpheus, Persephone, and Hades through the lens of a Korean American family, Eunice Hong's debut novel explores the grief and love of a woman coming to terms with trauma, memory, and the inescapability of death.

Release Date: August 13, 2024

K. Connie Kang

K. Connie Kang was born in 1942 in what is now North Korea. Kang's family fled North Korea and eventually came to the United States, where Kang would embark on a successful career as a journalist. She was a driving force behind the establishment and growth of the Korean American Journalists Association. During the LA riots in the spring of 1992, the language barrier meant that there were few local reporters who could interview Koreans in the city affected by the violence. To address this problem, later that year, the LA Times hired Kang. Their coverage of Asian issues changed noticeably as a result, and Kang helped give a voice an often overlooked community a voice in the mainstream media. She worked for the Times until 2008, and contributed to multiple other publications.

K. Connie Kang died in 2019 at the age of 76.

cover reveal 2: 2 cover 2 reveal (+ new website!)

like dionysus, my book cover is born again. now with 100% more korean-ness, to my mother's great excitement:

orpheus is upside down on the cover now, but he gets to stay right side up on the new website. I learned what a squarespace is and everything. if you are interested, you can use it to learn where to buy my book (basically anywhere, but I would love it if you considered your local bookstore), add it to storygraph/goodreads, and/or request it from your library. plus you can look at all of my weavings and jewelry, which have very little to do with the book but were fun to make.

thank you to my wonderful discord friends who gave me great feedback on how to website. I would love any feedback from you all as well!

MEMENTO MORI

Winner of the Red Hen Press Fiction Award

Did Eurydice want to return from the underworld? Did anybody ask?

In this astonishing work of “ferocious intellect and clarity,” debut author Eunice Hong weaves together Greek mythology, neuroscience, and the saga of a Korean family to create an “unexpected and thrilling story that features myth without being just a simple retelling.” Recasting the myths of Eurydice, Orpheus, Persephone, and Hades through the lens of a Korean American family, Memento Mori explores grief and love through a “beautifully written and impressively candid meditation on family secrets and the ties that bind.”

Out from Red Hen Press on August 13, 2024, but you can preorder now!

Happy National Korean-American Day!

[daegu-based-terrorist]

People who specify white American under my anti American posts have so obviously never interacted with Americans from a non American perspective.

do you not know how disturbing it is as a Korean to see someone making a video about streetfood style Korean fried chicken and swarms of Black Americans in the comments being like “No, No didn’t you no that WE actually introduced fried chicken to these Koreans while we were over there occupying them, mass murdering millions of them and dropping over half a million tons of bombs on their country don’t get it twisted.”

Like you are WEIRD!!! That is WEIRD.

You are all active participants in empire and the next time you try and tell, me, a North Korean, that your ethnicity somehow mitigates the fact that you live in and benefit from the imperial core I will fucking shoot you I swear to God.
