The Magical Language of Others: A Memoir
E. J. KohAs Eun Ji translates the letters, she looks to history—her grandmother Jun’s years as a lovesick wife in Daejeon, the horrors her grandmother Kumiko witnessed during the JejuIsland Massacre—and to poetry, as well as her own lived experience to answer questions inside all of us. Where do the stories of our mothers & grandmothers end & ours begin? How do we find words—in Korean, Japanese, English, or any language—to articulate the profound ways that distance can shape love?
Eun Ji Koh fearlessly grapples with forgiveness, reconciliation, legacy, & intergenerational trauma, arriving at insights that are essential reading for anyone who has ever had to balance love, longing, heartbreak, & joy. The Magical Language of Others
weaves a profound tale of hard-won selfhood & our deep bonds to family, place, & language, introducing—in Eun Ji Koh—a singular, incandescent voice.
E. J. Koh is the author of The Magical Language of Others, which won a Washington State Book Award, Pacific Northwest Book Award, & Association for Asian American Studies Book Award, & was longlisted for the PEN Open Book Award. Koh is also the author of the poetry collection A Lesser Love, a Pleiades Press Editors Prize for Poetry winner.
