Park's genius, born into the turmoil of post-war Korea, is used as a puppet by the South Korean government--before being banished to America. From a remote New York city ghetto, the boy wages a clandestine guerilla war against all symbols of authority. Park renders his vision of late-20th-century global culture with the bold, surreal strokes of Pynchon and the wild political sensibilities of Godard; the painful, largely unmapped narrative territory of Boy Genius creates a gripping, harrowing read...Set partly in the fictitious city of Bogota, NYC, this book is the first segment of Park's Elmhurst Trilogy, made up of Boy Genius, Las Cucarachas, and Rated R Boy..\u003cbr\u003eYongsoo Park is a Korean-American writer and independent film-maker living in New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781888451245\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 7.2 Inches, Length: 4.6 Inches, Weight: 0.44312914662 Pounds, Width: 0.7 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Park, Yongsoo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53801773793587,"sku":"9781888451245","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/9953053482860.jpg?v=1785979891","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/boy-genius-a-novel-akashic-urban-surreal-series","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
