Reviews
"I can't stop thinking about Ed Park's genius novel. Same Bed Different Dreams is an extraordinary--and hilarious --genre-busting nesting doll of comedy, science fiction, and thriller, and, at core, an epic compendium of Korean history that's also the dark history of American foreign entanglements. Park animates neglected archives with adrenaline-fueled plotlines and a poet's compulsion for wordplay. Same Bed Different Dreams is like no other novel I've read before--a cabinet of wonders that demands to be read and reread." --Cathy Park Hong, author of Minor Feelings "Imagine an enclosed cylinder at the base of which is a cell that contains filaments, fragments, and at the top of which is an aperture. You look inside and you see: History. Numerology. A flag. A gun. Dreams. Faith. Fingers. A diagonal of dots. UFOs. Puns. Race. A yin yang. A face. A folder icon. Nobody. A movie reel. Smoke. Love. Beauty. Resistance. The filaments shimmer. Now twist. Same Bed Different Dreams is a kaleidoscope of Koreamericana; a crowd of cracked voices; a gorgeous, hilarious, provisional dream; a wonder." --Namwali Serpell, author of The Furrows "No blurb could adequately praise or even sum up this novel. All I know is that Same Bed Different Dreams belongs in the company of a rare few dark and comic masterpieces of invention. It disarmed me with sheer delight." --Elizabeth McKenzie, author of The Portable Veblen "Your view of twentieth-century history will be enlarged and altered by Ed Park's mysterious and panoramic novel. Same Bed Different Dreams seems to draw on Bolaño and Pynchon and Helen DeWitt for its radical, centrifugal structure and style, yet remains grounded in a droll, sweet voice we've wished to hear again ever since Personal Days . This is a Gravity's Rainbow for another war, an unfinished war. Having been enlisted in the Korean Provisional Government, I now await my instructions." --Jonathan Lethem, New York Times bestselling author of The Fortress of Solitude "Totally astounding. Same Bed Different Dreams emits a prismatic intelligence operating on multiple frequencies. It's funny, melancholic, and strange. I didn't know I'd been waiting for a book like this until I encountered it." --Ling Ma, author of Severance and Bliss Montage, "Genius . . . Same Bed Different Dreams is an extraordinary--and hilarious --genre-busting nesting doll of comedy, science fiction, and thriller and, at its core, an epic compendium of Korean history that's also the dark history of American foreign entanglements.

This tribute to the fractured peninsula's citizens, diaspora, and allies is one for the ages." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review, "Your view of twentieth-century history will be enlarged and altered by Ed Park's mysterious and panoramic novel.

Synopsis
A wild, sweeping novel that imagines an alternate secret history of Korea and the traces it leaves on the present--loaded with assassins and mad poets, RPGs and slasher films, pop bands and the perils of social media, PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST * A wild, sweeping novel that imagines an alternate secret history of Korea and the traces it leaves on the present--loaded with assassins and mad poets, RPGs and slasher films, pop bands and the perils of social media "Your view of twentieth-century history will be enlarged and altered. . . .

This government-in-exile proves mostly symbolic, though, and after Japan's defeat in World War II, the KPG dissolves and civil war erupts, resulting in the tragic North-South split that remains today. But what if the KPG still existed--now working toward a unified Korea, secretly pulling levers to further its aims? Same Bed Different Dreams weaves together three distinct narrative voices with an archive of mysterious images, and twists reality like a kaleidoscope. Korean history, American pop culture, and our tech-fraught lives come together in this extraordinary and unforgettable novel. Soon Sheen, a former writer now employed by the tech behemoth GLOAT, comes into possession of an unfinished book seemingly authored by the KPG. The manuscript is a riveting revisionist history, connecting famous names and obscure bit players to the KPG's grand project--everyone from Syngman Rhee and architect-poet Yi Sang to Jack London and Marilyn Monroe. M*A*S*H is in here, too, as are the Moonies and a history of violence extending from the assassination of President McKinley to the Reagan-era downing of a passenger plane that puts the world on the brink of war.

- 1***2 (5)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI’m very satisfied with my purchase. Although it did arrive a few days late, it was definitely worth $18 for a densely packed, 1000 paged textbook with lots and lots of questions to reinforce your understanding. In terms of the seller and the condition of the book, the seller was very truthful in their description, and marked the book as “acceptable”. I’ve only explored a fraction of the book, and as far as I’m concerned, the majority is “good”. I’m very happy, it looks great, great quality.Fundamentals of Physics Extended (Nr. 286648984516)
- r***7 (4277)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufBook that was received had loose and missing pages and fell short of the described condition. Seller responded quickly to this concern and the suggested resolution was much better than hoped for. This was clearly an honest mistake and I highly recommend this seller as honest and professional. A++ seller!
- b***a (1076)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufSorry to have to return the book, but the listing appeared as if the 5 vol set of books was listed. I only received vol. 1. Requested a refund and seller sent return slip immediately and issued a complete refund. I would feel comfortable buying from this seller again.
