Summary:

PARASITE MEETS THE GOOD SON IN THIS PIERCING PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT

OF THREE WOMEN HAUNTED BY A BRUTAL, UNSOLVED CRIME.

In the summer of 2002, when Korea is abuzz over hosting the FIFA World Cup,

eighteen-year-old Kim Hae-on is killed in what becomes known as the High School

Beauty Murder. Two suspects quickly emerge: rich kid Shin Jeongjun, whose car

Hae-on was last seen in, and delivery boy Han Manu, who witnessed her there

just a few hours before her death. But when Jeongjuns alibi checks out, and no

evidence can be pinned on Manu, the case goes cold.

Seventeen years pass without any resolution for those close to Hae-on, and the

grief and uncertainty take a cruel toll on her younger sister, Da-on, in particular.

Unable to move on with her life, Da-on tries in her own twisted way to recover

some of what shes lost, ultimately setting out to find the truth of what happened.

Shifting between the perspectives of Da-on and two of Hae-ons classmates struck

in different ways by her otherworldly beauty, Lemon ostensibly takes the shape of

a crime novel. But identifying the perpetrator is not the main objective here:

Kwon Yeo-sun uses this well-worn form to craft a searing, timely exploration of

privilege, jealousy, trauma, and how we live with the wrongs we have endured

and inflicted in turn.

Kwon Yeo-sun was born in Andong, South Korea, and now lives in Seoul. In 1996 she received the Sangsang Literary Award for her debut novel, Niche of Green. Her subsequent novels and short stories have received numerous literary awards, including the Hankook Ilbo Literary Award, Yi Sang Literary Prize, and the Oh Yeong-su Literature Award, among others. Lemon is her first novel to be published in English.

Janet Hong is a writer and translator based in Vancouver, Canada. She received the 2018 TA First Translation Prize and the 16th LTI Korea Translation Award for her translation of Han Yujoos The Impossible Fairy Tale, which was also a finalist for both the 2018 PEN Translation Prize and the 2018 National Translation Award.

Title: It's Better to Be Feared: The New England Patriots Dynasty and the Pursuit of Greatness

Author: Seth Wickersham

Narrator: Richard Poe

Format: Unabridged

Length: 19:21:39

Language: English

Release date: 10-12-21

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Sports

Summary:

Over two unbelievable decades, the New England Patriots were not only the NFLs most dominant team, but alsoand by farthe most secretive. How did they achieve and sustain greatnessand what were the costs?

In Its Better to Be Feared, Seth Wickersham, one of the nations finest investigative sportswriters, presents the definitive account of the New England Patriots dynasty, capturing the brilliance, ambition, and ruthlessness that powered it. Having covered the team since Tom Brady took over as starting

quarterback in 2001, Wickersham draws on an immense range of sources, including previously confidential game plans, scouting reports, and internal studies as well as hundreds of interviews gathered over twenty yearswith Brady, Bill Belichick, and other players, coaches, and front office

personnelto offer a behind-the-scenes chronicle of the dynastys three acts: the initial burst of Super Bowls from 2001 to 2005; the plateau period, 2006 to 2014, stalked by scandal, injury, and nearmisses; and the second three Super Bowl victories between 2015 and 2019, which allowed the Patriots

to make their claim upon history.

At every step, Wickersham demonstrates just how Belichick and Brady shaped the Patriots and reshaped the entire NFL. We are taken deep into Belichicks tactical mind, odd work habits, and strained relationships, including his sincere but unspoken love for the players and a near fistfight with

a former assistant coach. It is an illuminating depiction of a mastermind, and an organization, dedicated not only to winning but to breaking a league designed to prevent the emergence of a single, unbeatable team.

Yet it is in Wickershams portrait of Bradyfrom his childhood in northern California to his challenging years at the University of Michigan to his astonishing early superstardom in the NFLthat the source of the Patriots sheer endurance comes into focus. Even as he navigated an improbable rise to fame,

Brady was driven by a totalizing ambition to be great, not as an endpoint, but as an ever unfolding process. Sustaining greatness, however, came with a price. Wickersham reveals, to an extent no other journalist has, the clashes among the coach, the quarterback, and the owner, Robert Kraftconflicts

that resulted in the teams best performances but also, eventually, the dissolution of the dynasty itself.Raucous, unvarnished, and propulsive, Its Better to Be Feared is an instant classic of American sportswriting, and an unforgettable study of what it takes to reach, and remain at, the summit of

human achievement.
