The Eyes Are the Best Part
This feminist howl-of-a-debut is going to crawl right under your skin
Ji-won's life is in disarray. Her father's affair has ripped the family to shreds, leaving her to piece their crappy lives back together.
Then her mother's new white boyfriend enters the scene, bragging about his knowledge of Korean culture. As he swaggers around their claustrophobic apartment ogling her teenage sister, Ji-won's grip on reality begins to slip.

A szeme a legfinomabb
Miután az apjuk váratlanul elhagyja a családot, Csivon élete egyik napról a másikra darabokra hullik. Az anyja beleroppan a kétségbeesésbe, a húga összezavarodva próbál megküzdeni a történtekkel. Csivon eközben pedig egyre inkább az álmaiba menekül, csakhogy ezek az álmok rémisztőek. És ellenállhatatlanok.Csivon ilyenkor véres szobákban jár, ahol mindenütt szemek veszik körül. Zamatos, ínycsiklandó kék szemek. Pont olyanok, mint George-é, az anyja új barátjáé, aki nagyképű és megvető, megbámulja az ázsiai nőket, Csivont és a húgát pedig úgy kezeli, mintha szívességet tenne nekik azzal, hogy betolakodik az életükbe. Mintha megérdemelné az anyjuk rajongását. Mintha bármi járna neki ettől a családtól.De Csivon tudja, hogy George-nak semmi nem jár.Ahogy a lány éhsége és dühe egyre mélyebbre húzza, az álom és valóság határai elmosódnak. A kék szemek már nem csak éjszaka kísértik. És amikor Csivon ráébred, milyen messzire képes elmenni azért, hogy visszaszerezze az uralmat a saját élete felett, már nem az a kérdés, meg lehet-e állítani.Hanem hogy akarja-e bárki is.Monika Kim debütálása kegyetlen bosszútörténet és metsző társadalmi látlelet vágyról, dühről és a morál határairól. A szeme a legfinomabb a megjelenését követően elnyerte a legjobb első regénynek járó Bram Stoker-díjat, és Greta Lee tervez filmet forgatni belőle.

The Eyes Are The Best Part
The book that is crawling under ever readers skin...
Ji-won's life tumbles into disarray in the wake of her Appa's extramarital affair and subsequent departure. Her mother, distraught. Her younger sister, hurt and confused. Her college freshman grades, failing. Her dreams, horrifying... yet enticing.
In them, Ji-won walks through bloody rooms full of eyes. Succulent blue eyes. Salivatingly blue eyes. Eyes the same shape and shade as George's, who is Umma's obnoxious new boyfriend. George has already overstayed his welcome in her family's claustrophobic apartment. He brags about his puffed-up consulting job, ogles Asian waitresses while dining out, and acts condescending toward Ji-won and her sister as if he deserves all of Umma's fawning adoration. No, George doesn't deserve anything from her family. Ji-won will make sure of that.
For no matter how many victims accumulate around her campus or how many people she must deceive and manipulate, Ji-won's hunger and her rage deserve to be sated.
A brilliantly inventive, subversive novel about a young woman unraveling, Monika Kim's The Eyes Are the Best Part is a story of a family falling apart and trying to find their way back to each other, marking a bold new voice in horror that will leave readers mesmerized and craving more.
