The Prince of Mournful Thoughts and Other Stories

mother-in-law, Karin, for sharing her New Yorkers and New York Review of Books with me and for liking to talk about books as much as I do. Thank you to my parents, Yong Bae Kim and Choon Ja Kim, for accepting my dream of becoming a writer from the beginning, and especially to my mother for teaching me the necessity of paying attention.
I need more books than this to properly express my love and thankfulness to my husband, Stu. There would be no book and not much of a life without him. Definitely not the three joys of my life: Isabelle, Aria, and Jet. You are the reason for everything.
