A spare novel, set in an unexpected bypath of history... At a certain point, I realized this wasn't going to be a regular novel--where we watch who does what to whom--but a book about solitude, the hardest thing to frame fiction around. The transplanted Yohan is a great observer of the physical world, but he can only reflect so far; other people are mysteries to him. Who would think you could make a story out of this?

Synopsis
A haunting literary debut of a Korean POW learning to adapt to a new life in Brazil from the novelist New York Magazine calls a "quotidian-surreal craft-master." Snow Hunters traces the extraordinary journey of Yohan, who defects from his country at the end of the Korean War, leaving his friends and family behind to seek a new life on the coast of Brazil. Throughout his years there, four people slip in and out of his life: Kiyoshi, the Japanese tailor for whom he works; Peixe, the groundskeeper at the town church; and two vagrant children named Santi and Bia. Yohan longs to connect with these people, but to do so he must let go of his traumatic past. In Snow Hunters , Yoon proves that love can dissolve loneliness, that hope can wash away despair, and that a man who has lost a country can find a new home. This is a heartrending story of second chances, told with unerring elegance and tenderness.
