Reviews

...Knife Song Korea is a perfect complement to [Selzer's] established body of work-tersely rendered, paced to perfection, seamless in its blending of love and knife; it is a tangled love song sung with clarity and conviction, a young man's story shaped and clarified by the wisdom of age. - Sewanee Review ...Certainly this book joins such canon fixtures as For Whom the Bell Tolls and All Quiet on the Western Front in its discerning study of war ... Each word, each metaphor of this book revives a Korean War that is still pulsating, still bursting with shouts, grinding gears, and rampant illness. For a lasting time, a lasting work. - ForeWord Reviews ...a lapidary work of exceptional artistry as well as a valuable addition to the body of notable works by physician-writers. - California Literary Review
