"An affecting if uneven debut in which a Korean girl, newly immigrated to the US, struggles to transcend the chaos of a strange land and of a violent, overstressed family." 05/01/1997Boston Book Review
"'A Cab Called Reliable' leaves the reader with many questions, but the inquiries are a sign of engagement in a compelling text. Kim's is an authentic and persuasive voice, and the book augurs well for a very promising career." - Erika Dreifus July/August 1997 New York Times Book Review
"Rarely does a debut novel make a reader hungry for the author's next book, but anticipation is precisely what one feels after reading 'A Cab Called Reliable'....Both elegantly and humorously told....Kim uses a precise and assured storytelling voice, one that manages to be both artless and accomplished." - Denise Gess 09/14/1997 |
