The Cabinet by Un-su Kim

3.0

---

This book was entirely original, and for that it gets points, but I wouldn't necessarily call it good. The author has a zillion interesting ideas and it really felt more like a book of short stories that for some reason he tried to attach a narrative thread to. The individual stories of humans with strange abilities were entertaining and imaginative, but the overarching story of the custodian and collector of these stories was kind of useless and detracted from the strange beauty of the unique stories of the symptomers.


Recommend to fans of The Checquy Files, Etgar Kehret, and maybe Douglas Adams fans?
