He thought of these years as another life within the one he had. As though it were a thing he was able to carry. A small box. A handkerchief. A stone. He did not understand how a life could vanish. How that was even possible. How it could close in an instant before you even reach inside one last time, touch someone's hand one last time. How there would come a day when no one would wonder about the life he had before this one.

Paul Yoon, from Snow hunters (Simon & Schuster 2013)

🇱🇦  Laos

Region: Southeast Asia

Run Me to Earth

Author: Paul Yoon

272 pages, published 2020

Original language: English

Native author? Yes

Age: Teen-Adult

Blurb:

Alisak, Prany, and Noi--three orphans united by devastating loss--must do what is necessary to survive the perilous landscape of 1960s Laos. When they take shelter in a bombed out field hospital, they meet Vang, a doctor dedicated to helping the wounded at all costs. Soon the teens are serving as motorcycle couriers, delicately navigating their bikes across the fields filled with unexploded bombs, beneath the indiscriminate barrage from the sky.

 In a world where the landscape and the roads have turned into an ocean of bombs, we follow their grueling days of rescuing civilians and searching for medical supplies, until Vang secures their evacuation on the last helicopters leaving the country. It's a move with irrevocable consequences--and sets them on disparate and treacherous paths across the world.

Spanning decades and magically weaving together storylines laced with beauty and cruelty, Paul Yoon crafts a gorgeous story that is a breathtaking historical feat and a fierce study of the powers of hope, perseverance, and grace.

My thoughts:

Only just found this one! Also on my Laos list were Moon Bear and Little Cricket, both for younger audiences.

Review to come.

The Best of Kim's Convenience

Ins Choi’s Kim’s Convenience provides a lighthearted look into the tribulations of the Korean-Canadian Kim family, consisting of Sang-il and Yong-mi Kim, the traditional immigrant couple who runs the eponymous convenience store; their charismatic estranged son Jung, a former delinquent now working at Handy Car and Truck Rental; and their outspoken daughter Janet, a college student majoring in photography.  Kim’s Convenience debuted as a play in 2011, which the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation adapted into a sitcom – with Ins Choi and Kevin White as showrunners – beginning in 2015.  Paul Sun-Hyung Lee and Jean Yoon reprised their respective roles of Mr. and Mrs. Kim for the TV show, which usually focuses on the cultural and generational conflicts the Kims experience both within their family – rounded out by Chinese-Canadian Simu Liu and Andrea Bang as Jung and Janet – and with their diverse array of Toronto friends and neighbors.

Kim’s Convenience’s accolades prompted Netflix to start importing the sitcom to the US in 2018, allowing me to start watching it the following year.  As a compelling Asian-American-centric work that seemed in need in 2020 of a larger American fanbase, my favorite episodes from the first two seasons seemed like apt choices for the subjects of my first non-Marvel review. I went on to discuss select episodes from seasons 3-5 as well.
