If At First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again, by Zen Cho

If at First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again by Zen Cho

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


There are a lot of short descriptions of this novelette. It's a story about relationships. About persistence. About love. But the short descriptions really don't do it justice. Zen Cho develops a lot of depth in such a short work. And the Korean mythology angle was interesting--I knew about the relationship between dragons and earthworms, but Imugi were new to me. It's about a 3.6 rounded up for me, but it made an impression. Beautifully told, made you feel like it was highly original even though the themes are as old as time.
