100 Days of Creative Resistance graphic featuring a quote from Crystal Hana Kim that reads “In moments of despair, when I want to obliterate the world or myself out of desperation and rage, I practice slowing down my body, narrowing my focus to the small, sensory details around me.”

Having lost touch after high school, @crystalhanak.bsky.social and I had our 20 year reunion in Interview Magazine We discuss her latest novel, The Stone Home which beautifully highlights the roles of community and hope during a dark period of South Korea’s history that echos our present moment.

In The Stone Home, Crystal Hana Kim Uncovers a Dark Chapter in Korean History

"When I'm writing, I always start with questions but I don't necessarily expect to find answers," says the author of "The Stone Home," a new novel about the legacy of South Korean internment camps.

"I wanted the novel to be politically charged and I wanted to do right by the historical facts. At the same time, I wanted it to feel gripping, immersive, and character-driven." @crystalhanak.bsky.social
