Paul Park climaxed his "wanderjahr" in Asia and the Middle East with his Sugar Rain Trilogy, which established him immediately as a writer to watch. His fascinated readers have since followed him into Christian theology, the anatomy of colonialism, and the limits and possibilities of metafictonal narrative. He lives in western Massachusetts and currently teaches at Williams College.
"Paul Park is a brilliant, stunning, frightening writer, a major
talent."
--Gene Wolfe "Paul Park is one of the most gifted and subtle story
writers I know."
--Jonathan Lethem "Entering a Paul Park universe means slipping
into an eerily compelling plane where nearly palpable visions
transform as disturbing as the images in a sexually charged fever
dream."
--Publishers Weekly "Complex, elusive, haunting, written in a
transparent prose that slips you from one world to another with
prestidigitous ease."
--Ursula K. Le Guin "Paul Park's short stories are blunt, funny,
distressing, strange, true--all these qualities, often all at
once."
--Kim Stanley Robinson
