1Q1A Run Me To Earth Paul Moon
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Paul Soon author of Run Me To Earth, published this month by Simon & Schuster.
Paul’s first book was Once The Shore, a NYT Notable Book. His novel Snow Hunters won the 2014 Young Lions Fiction Award and his most recent book, before Run Me To Earth was The Mountain an NPR Best Book of The Year.
His stories have appeared in Harper’s and Best American Short Stories.
He lectures at Harvard.
Run Me To Earth is a novel that tells us a story that is based in a terrible reality and translated into a fictional account.
Alisak, Prany and Noi navigate us through decades of Laos and it's shattering history.
We are transported, in part by minefields, unexploded bombies, by motorbikes, prisons and the French countryside into an insightful history through the eyes of these three orphans.
Courage, regret and memory weave together to help us understand and create or recreate in us, the years of senseless violence whose purpose is lost in a fog of war and carnage, or in this case, more simply, horror. Horror born on a whim.
