So, in the age of shameless and endless self-promotion, I'll contribute to the collective. Check out the massive anthology of NYC-centric stories edited by Thomas Beller, hitting stores now. Within it, you will find many interesting and talented writers and their stories and I do mean MANY: the work is textbook-sized. In it, you can find my essay about Korean nail shops and me, an occasional nail shop patron and a full-on Korean-American who can't (comprehensibly) speak jack-shit of Korean.
