{"product_id":"the-library-of-musical-instruments-kim-jung-hyuk-9781628971514","title":"The Library of Musical Instruments","description":"The second short-story collection by Kim Jung-hyuk, the author of Penguin News, features a total of eight short stories, including \"Syncopation D\" which won the 2nd Kim You-jeong Literary Award in 2008. They represent the many sounds sampled by the author when he recorded over 600 kinds of musical instruments. Like instruments coming together in a symphony, the stories combine to make an opus consisting of variations on a theme. While the stories begin in an upbeat fashion and work to a crescendo, they end with notes in a minor key filling the vacuum. \u003ci\u003eThe Library of Musical Instruments\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection to contemplate on more than one occasion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kim Jung-Hyuk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1628971517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628971514\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Kim Jung-Hyuk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939404906751,"sku":"9781628971514","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_235b0619-6c69-4390-b366-703152636a95.jpg?v=1681441296","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-library-of-musical-instruments-kim-jung-hyuk-9781628971514","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
