Book reviewers Giselle Au-Nhien Nguyen and Steven Carroll cast their eyes over recent fiction and non-fiction. Here are their hits and misses. FICTION PICK OF THE WEEK Shoko’s Smile, Choi Eunyoung, John Murray, $32.99 CREDIT: Recently translated into English, this 2016 collection of short stories by South Korean writer Choi Eunyoung is strange and compelling. Choi’s characters are at a remove both from each other and the reader, and much of what this collection concerns is the ways in which people misunderstand one another and the complexity of interpersonal relationships, particularly those between women.
