The Mountain by Paul Yoon

4.0

4.5 Stars. This collection of stories by Paul Yoon was incredible. I felt what the characters felt, saw what they saw, and endured the depth of their emotions simply through Yoon’s words – now that’s powerful writing. I wanted more from each story, I yearned for the characters to have their questions answered, and I longed to know how their lives progressed. The beauty of the short story however, is that Yoon leaves room for the readers imagination when it comes to many of the characters beginnings and endings, which I loved. In each of these stories, Yoon presents the power and resilience of the human spirit, and each of these clips of the characters’ lives has the potential to inspire readers to seek within themselves the strength to grow.
