Winter in Sokcho, by Elisa Shua Dusapin. Scribe, $22.99. This slim, visceral and unnerving book begins when a foreigner checks into a guesthouse in the port city of Sokcho, South Korea. The stranger is Yan Kerrand, a French cartoonist, who comes to the seaside resort, now deserted in the icy winter, looking for inspiration. He's greeted by the unnamed narrator, a young woman and a Seoul university graduate, who cooks in the guesthouse. She has returned to her hometown to be near her mother again.
