Diary of a Murderer

And Other Stories

It's been 25 years since I last murdered someone, or has it been 26?

Diary of a Murderer captivates and provokes in equal measure, exploring what it means to be on the edge - between life and death, good and evil. In the titular novella, a former serial killer suffering from memory loss sets his sights on one final target: his daughter's boyfriend, who he suspects is also a serial killer. In other stories we witness an affair between two childhood friends that questions the limits of loyalty and love; a family's disintegration after a baby son is kidnapped and recovered years later; and a wild, erotic ride about pursuing creativity at the expense of everything else.

From "one of South Korea's best and most worldly writers" (NPR), Diary of a Murderer is chilling and high-powered all the way through.

Spoiler-ish - Great First Story

Narrator was great. The first short story was superb and the narrator made it all the more real. Not actual spoilers but I like how all the stories didn’t have a definitive ending. Nothing was tied up in a nice bow at the end. Haven’t read this author before but will definitely read more of his stuff. I rated it a four star overall because it was just so hard to follow the first story that, while good short stories, just couldn’t compare to the first one.
