Miles from Nowhere
by Nami Mun
Miles from Nowhere is a first-person narrative about Joon, a young Korean girl who navigates homelessness, physical abuse and drug addiction during her years as a runaway in New York City.
In raw and beautiful prose, Nami Mun delivers the story of a young woman who is at once tough and vulnerable, world-weary and naive, faced with insurmountable odds and yet fiercely determined to survive.
In the process, Mun creates one of the most indelible characters in recent fiction and establishes herself as an extraordinarily talented new voice.
Brutally honest, linguistically inventive, and profoundly moving, Miles from Nowhere is a work of fiction that will haunt and inspire a generation of readers.
"The visceral power of Nami Mun's Miles from Nowhere sneaks up on you - whatever heartache or humor you find within these pages is embodied in her shimmering prose, distilled to the bone."
- Nick Flynn, author of Another Bulls**t Night in Suck City
