The magical language series
Drawing by Karl Stevens for the New York Review of Books
The Magical Language of Others is a powerful and aching memoir, a tale of deep bonds to family, place, and language.
After living in America for over a decade, Eun Ji Koh’s parents return to South Korea for work, leaving fifteen-year-old Eun Ji and her brother behind in California. Overnight, Eun Ji finds herself abandoned and adrift in a world made strange by her mother’s absence. Her mother writes letters, in Korean, over the years seeking forgiveness and love―letters Eun Ji cannot fully understand until she finds them years later hidden in a box.
In this incandescent memoir, E. J. Koh fearlessly grapples with forgiveness, reconciliation, legacy, and intergenerational trauma. Join us for an in-depth conversation with E. J. Koh about her memoir, poetry, and translation.
“Koh’s book is a tremendous gift. We’re so fortunate to have this literary reckoning from a tremendously talented writer. The Magical Language of Others is a wonder.”
—The San Francisco Chronicle
“A haunting, gorgeous narrative…lushly told. Brilliant.”
—The Star Tribune

I didn’t know anything about E.J. Koh before this, and this memoir was an interesting read, full of surprises I didn’t expect. There are some trigger warnings that would’ve been nice (CW: eating disorders are mentioned, as well as her grandmother essentially killed herself. There’s also details about her grandmother slitting her wrists and multiple different attempts at suicide. That I was not prepared for at all), but it thankfully didn't impact me too much.
