TIME chooses
An Oral History of Atlantis as one of the 100 Must-Read Books of 2025:
A stone-cold assassin targets her college friend. A pair of Hollywood B-listers look back at a pulp film they’d made in the 1980s, with disastrous results. A reunion between father and son summons complicated feelings for both men. An archeological team of 18 women, all named Tina, excavates a mysterious site on a floating island in the Pacific Ocean. Park, a Pulitzer finalist for his mind-bending political novel, Same Bed Different Dreams, here serves up a delectable collection of linked stories, a cocktail of his obsessions: experimental language, pop-culture oddities, screwball characters, cutting-edge technologies, and political conflicts across the globe. Yet he’s a poet of the heart as well as an intellectual archivist, his commitment to art captured in inventive forms. —Hamilton Cainhttps://time.com/collections/the-100-...
