bcanfield94 's review for:
The Cabinet
by Un-su Kim
Such a unique read, but can be confusing in how it moves back and forth between mosaic short stories and overarching narrative. Some of the Cabinet 13 “files” are so interesting to think about, and Mr. Kong’s position as a call center-style point person for all of these odd cases prompts thought about how ordinary the extraordinary can be and vice versa. All that said, I don’t really know what this book wants to be or what it wants to say — I also wasn’t a huge fan of the overarching plot involving a syndicate trying to steal chimera files from Mr. Kong. Actually, I think keeping it ordinary would have been the better move.
