    The Wonmi-Dong Poet is a particularly clever story, which forwards the narrative by providing a couple of character sketches and revealing the limits of loyalty. The story is narrated by a young girl, the self-confessed neighborhood know-it-all. …Yang does a nice job balancing the voice of the perfect know it all with the voice of a child who doesn’t fully understand adult goings on.   Source: http://www.ktlit.com/the-poet-of-wonmi-dong-by-yang-gui-ja-review/
